NYCHA’s Housing Choice Voucher Program is the largest Section 8 voucher program in the United States. NYCHA administers approximately 100,000 Section 8 vouchers, and over 33,000 landlords currently participate in the program.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funding for the rent subsidies for those eligible for the program. All apartments must meet Housing Quality Standards (HQS) set by HUD. NYCHA inspectors conduct annual apartment inspections to ensure compliance with these standards.
If you are already a Section 8 Landlord you can now register on-line to receive inspection notices. If you are interested in becoming a Section 8 Landlord, please call the Landlord Outreach Hotline at (212) 306-8555.
We have provided for your use a link to commonly used NYCHA forms, hotline numbers, NYCHA inspection standards, and a link to IRS Form W-9.
