Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: HUD Voucher Options?

[Sophie Rubin (yophiest]

In addition, it is worth noting that most cohousing is owner-occupied or
rented by the owner of an individual unit (not the community as a whole),
so it would be up to the owner vetting potential renters to decide whether
or not to accept a voucher.

Some local housing authorities have a landlord-support program (to
encourage landlords to rent to voucher-holders); you might see if that is a
thing in your area and include the information about that support program
to your potential landlord, as this might help open someone up to renting
to a voucher-holder.
