Fair Housing
What is the 'housing voucher' program (Section 8/HCV) and how does it interact with Hawaii's fair housing law?
AA. Vouchers are only accepted by subsidized housing projects; private landlords need not participate
BB. The Housing Choice Voucher program subsidizes rent for low-income households; Hawaii's source of income protection means landlords may not refuse qualified applicants solely because they use a voucher✓ Correct
CC. Vouchers are available to all renters in Hawaii regardless of income
DD. Participation in the voucher program is mandatory for all Hawaii landlords
Explanation
The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV/Section 8) program helps low-income families afford private-market housing. Hawaii's fair housing law includes 'source of income' as a protected class, meaning landlords generally cannot refuse to rent to otherwise qualified applicants solely because they use a housing voucher to pay rent.
