City of Mesa Section 8 Housing Deadline

The deadline to get on the waiting list for Section 8 housing in the City of Mesa is Tues. Jan. 30th, at 11 a.m. This will be the final opportunity to apply for at least 2 years.

The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, funded by the U.S. Dept. of Housing, provides rental assistance to low income families by contracting with private owners & subsidizing a portion of the family’s monthly rent. The family’s portion of the rent is based on their income. It generally amounts to 30% of their adjusted monthly income on rent, depending on the cost of the unit they select. A family can remain on the Housing Assistance Program as long as they continue to be eligible & fulfill their obligations under the federal regulations of the program.

This is the first time the applications have been made available on-line. Application forms can be downloaded at cityofmesa.org/housing. Application requests will also be accepted by phone Tues. Jan. 30th, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at 480-644-5800. For more info, contact Mesa Senior Housing Specialist Beth Rice at 480-644-3538.
