Housing Choice Voucher Program 

The Housing Choice Voucher Program was enacted by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and  is funded through and monitored by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The program in Tempe is administered by the City of Tempe Human Services Department's Housing Services, which is the public housing authority (PHA) for the city.

The Housing Choice Voucher Program provides low- to extremely-low income families a choice in housing that is safe, sanitary, and affordable through rent subsidies. Through the program a family can pay more or less than 30% of their adjusted gross income, depending on the actual rent of the unit they find. The maximum amount that Housing Services will pay is an amount equal to the Payment Standard minus the family’s total tenant payment.

Housing Services makes a housing assistance payment for the remaining part of the rent directly to the Landlord.

Payment Standard

• is established by the City of Tempe Housing Services
• is based on the cost of housing and utilities for Tempe; and
• depends on the family composition and the bedroom size of the unit. For example, the payment standard is higher for families requiring 3-bedroom units than families requiring 1-bedroom units.
