Section 8 (Housing Choice Voucher) Program
The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP) is a Federal Housing Program funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In order to determine preliminary eligibility, an applicant must supply our office with an application issued by MASSNAHRO, which you can download here.
Section 8 Participants
The Leominster Housing Authority each offers subsidies through the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP). HCVP is a federally funded rental assistance program designed to help low-income families, senior citizens, and people with disabilities afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing. The program provides subsidies to qualified households for use in private housing in the community of their choice. Under the Section 8 Program, households initially pay 30%-40% of their gross income toward the rent plus utilities, and the Federal Government pays the difference between that amount and the approved contract rent amount.

The Family Self-Sufficiency Program
An Opportunity for Participants of the Housing Choice Voucher Program
The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program enables families assisted through the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program and Public Housing (PH) residents to increase their earned income and reduce their dependency on welfare assistance and rental subsidies. Under the FSS program, low-income families are provided opportunities for education, job training, counseling, and other forms of social service assistance while living in assisted housing so they can obtain the skills necessary to achieve self-sufficiency.
The FSS program is administered by public housing agencies (PHAs) with the help of program coordinating committees (PCCs). The PCC usually consists of representatives of local government, employment and job training agencies, welfare agencies, nonprofit providers, local businesses, and assisted families.
Services for FSS program participants are provided through local partnerships with employers and service providers in the community. Services are not funded by HUD. HUD funding is provided for the salary of FSS coordinators and is awarded through annual Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs).
Public Housing residents and HCV participants interested in participating in the FSS program may contact Urania Correa ext 114 at (978) 537-5300.
