Section 8 – Housing Choice Voucher Program

The Housing Choice Voucher Program in Southampton, NY, is the federal government’s primary program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled. The program aims to help these groups afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. Since housing assistance is provided on behalf of the family or individual, participants are able to find their own housing, including single-family homes, townhouses, and apartments.

The New York State Human Rights Law requires housing providers to make reasonable accommodations or modifications to a building or living space to meet the needs of people with disabilities. For example, if you have a physical, mental, or medical impairment, you can ask your housing provider to make the common areas of your building accessible, or to change certain policies to meet your needs.
