As of 4/1/2026, HACA currently administers 7,140 vouchers through numerous HUD Housing Choice voucher/HCV (Section 8) Programs that provide assistance for low-income families.
As of 4/1/2026, HACA had a total of 6,923 leased vouchers and 188 vouchers issued to those who were actively searching for a housing unit. The number of vouchers that HACA has leased and issued depends on a variety of factors, including available voucher funding for leasing vouchers, how long it takes a family to find a unit, vacancies in existing project-based voucher (PBV) units under contract, future PBV units that have been awarded but are not yet under contract, and leasing priorities for specific programs. HACA’s vouchers are valid for 180 days, unless an extension is approved.
The following sections show the status of vouchers by HCV program. Numbers include both tenant-based vouchers and project-based vouchers (PBVs). Allocated vouchers are the number of vouchers that HACA has been awarded by HUD for each specific program. Leased vouchers are the number of vouchers that are currently under contract in each program, meaning an individual/family is living in a unit that receives a housing assistance payment from HACA. Voucher-holders Searching are vouchers that HACA has issued to current participants who are in the process of moving to a new unit or to applicants from the waitlist who are currently searching for a housing unit.

HCV Program: Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) Program
Population Served: Limited program through American Recover Plan Act of 2021 that served persons who were homeless; at risk of homelessness; at high risk of housing instability; or fleeing circumstances related to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking. When participants leave this program, the voucher cannot be re-issued and the number of allocated vouchers is reduced. This program is no longer available and is closed to new applicants.
The EHV program will not be funded after 2026. Beginning December 2025, HACA began transitioning EHV participants to the HCV and Mainstream programs, based on their specific program eligibility. HACA will complete the transition by the end of 2026.
