BMHA Section 8 Program
Dear Applicant,
The housing choice voucher program is a federal housing assistance program funded through
the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The program provides rental subsidies for
eligible very low income individuals and families to assist with rent and utility payments in private rental
housing. Recipients are allowed to reside in any private housing location in Erie County that passes a
HUD housing quality standard inspection and charges a reasonable rent (as determined by BMHA).
The current very low income limits that apply to annual family income for 2013 are:
One person
$22,250
Two person
$25,400
Three person
$28,600
Four person
$31,750
Five person
$34,300
Six person
$36,850
Seven person
$39,400
Eight person
$41,950
Nine person
$44,450
Facts You Should Know
COMPLETION AND SUBMISSION OF A WAITING LIST APPLICATION ONLY PLACES YOUR NAME
ON THE BMHA SECTION 8 WAITING LIST. IT DOES NOT ENSURE THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE
RENTAL ASSISTANCE. When your name is reached on the waiting list, you will be contacted by
mail to come into the BMHA offices and complete the screening process. No applicant will be
housed until all steps of the application process are completed and final approval is granted
consistent with all required statutes, regulations, protocols and procedures.
Due to the high number of waiting list applications and the limited number of vouchers
available, there is no emergency housing available. Depending on your position on the waiting
list, the anticipated waiting period can be as little as six months to as long as five years or more.
You must notify our office in writing if you have a change of address or family composition.
If you fail to come in for a scheduled appointment, your Section 8 eligibility may be affected.
If a letter is sent to you from BMHA and it is returned to us as “undeliverable”, your name will
be removed from the waiting list.
False information provided on the application is grounds for denial of assistance.
Thank you for your interest in BMHA’s Section 8 Rental Assistance Program.
Additional application forms can be downloaded from the BMHA website
or obtained from any BMHA office.
