Housing Choice Voucher Programs

The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program is the primary housing assistance program offered by NOHA in Clatsop, Columbia, and Tillamook counties. HCV is the federal government's major program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. A family that is issued a Housing Choice Voucher is responsible for finding a suitable housing unit of the family's choice where the owner agrees to rent under the program. This unit may include the family's present residence. Rental units must meet minimum inspection standards of health and safety.

At this time we cannot provide estimates regarding approximate wait times to receive voucher assistance. NOHA will notify waitlist applicants in writing once they reach the top of applicable waitlists and are selected for voucher consideration. Waitlist applicants are responsible for notifying NOAH in writing of any changes in their contact information to ensure timely receipt of all correspondence and communication.

Any changes to one's current situation whether it be wages, address, phone number or family status must be reported to the housing authority immediately. Simply use the change form listed below and send it to NOHA
