Since 1997, Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) have been awarded to provide rental assistance, specifically for non-elderly disabled (NED) families. “HCVs for NED families have been awarded under various special purpose HCV programs: Rental Assistance for Non-Elderly Persons with Disabilities in Support of Designated Housing Plans (Designated Housing); Rental Assistance for Non-Elderly Persons with Disabilities Related to Certain Types of Section 8 Project-Based Developments (Certain Developments); One-Year Mainstream Housing Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities and the Project Access Pilot Program (formerly Access Housing 2000)”.
In the past, however, there have been issues regarding the tracking and issuing of these vouchers. Now, these issues have been clearly addressed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
