Are you a landlord in the Lynchburg area interested in participating in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program? The HCV Program provides rental assistance (for low, and extremely low-income families) so that they may obtain housing in the private rental market. Program participants normally pay no more than 30% of their monthly adjusted income towards rent and utilities. The housing assistance payment pays the balance of the rent to the property owner.
