Explanation
Section 8 (Housing Choice Voucher program) is administered by the Delaware State Housing Authority and local PHAs. Eligible low-income households receive vouchers allowing them to rent private market units at or below the payment standard. Landlords receive a portion of rent from HUD and the remainder from the tenant. Delaware's source of income protection law prevents landlords from refusing Section 8 vouchers.
