These programs are income based and eligibility requirements are set by HUD. There may be a waiting list for these programs vouchers or rentals and at times the lists may close to new applicants as the need for housing assistance becomes greater than the funds for rental assistance or the availability of housing. If you are in need of housing assistance in the area please contact the Housing Authority directly to obtain more information about program eligibility, availability of assistance or rentals, the status of any waiting lists and their application procedures.

HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER (HCV)
The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program offers low-income families the ability to rent quality housing of their choice within the private market using federal funds provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HACCC administers approximately 9,000 vouchers under the HCV Program. Through the HCV Program, participants in possession of a voucher pay a portion of the rent each month based on their income and HACCC pays the remaining portion directly to the landlord.
PUBLIC HOUSING
HACCC is committed to providing quality, safe, and affordable housing units to low and moderate income-qualifying families, seniors, and person with disabilities through the number of building and dwelling units it maintains in Contra Costa County. No vouchers are necessary to participate in HACCCs Public Housing Program.
PROJECT BASED VOUCHER HOUSING
The Project Based Voucher (PBV) Program is a component of the Housing Choice Voucher Program. It allows applicants to receive rental assistance while living in a specified privately-owned property. Through the PBV Program, the rental assistance is attached to a specified unit for up to forty years. After 12 months of continual occupancy, the family is eligible to receive a tenant-based Housing Choice Voucher, subject to availability. HACCC currently offers rental assistance for specified units at 23 properties through its PBV Program.

In addition to its commitment to providing high quality affordable housing solutions, HACCC also aims to assist its clients to gain self-sufficiency to become an integral part of Contra Costa County.
