Western Carolina Community Action, Inc.

The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program is a rent subsidy program funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The program enables very low-income families to obtain standard housing. To be eligible, an applicant individual or family must be very low-income (below 50% of area median). Families/individuals are expected to contribute 30% of adjusted monthly income toward rent and utility expenses; the balance, subject up to established ceilings, is subsidized.
