In general the Florida
Section 8
Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program is a tenant-based
rental assistance program under which an eligible program
participant pays 30 percent of his or her monthly adjusted
income toward the rent, and U.S. HUD pays the remainder.
In the HCV Program, a participant is given a voucher and
is allowed to look for housing in the private rental
market anywhere within the local Housing Authority's
jurisdiction, which covers Miami Beach and extends ten
miles outside the city. Once the participant finds a
housing unit he or she would like to rent, Housing
Authority must approve the rent and then inspect the unit.
After the unit passes inspection, the participant can move
in. If the tenant wants to move, he or she may do so after
the first year in the unit.

8 voucher available to provide to the participant.
