NSPIRE Requirements for 2025 NSPIRE REQUIREMENTS .pdf Download PDF • 217KB HCV NSPIRE Most Common Fails .pdf Download PDF • 1.37MB The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program (previously referred to as Section 8) assists families and individuals to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. The participant is free to choose any housing that meets the requirements of the program, including single-family homes, townhouses, and apartments, and is not limited to units located in subsidized housing projects. Once the tenant and landlord sign a lease, the tenant's family typically contributes 30%-40% of their income towards rent and utilities, and the HCV program pays the remainder directly to the landlord. CDLI is the Local Administrator for the New York State Homes & Community Renewal (HCR) Housing Choice Voucher program on Long Island and select rental properties in Brooklyn, NY. Benefits of Being an HCV Participating Property Owner: You will get timely and dependable payments from the Public Housing Authority (PHA) Participating, compliant landlords will receive timely and dependable housing assistance payments (HAP) each month once the HAP contract and lease are signed. Payments are made directly into the property owner’s account, no worries about lost checks or late payments. Potential for limited unit turnover The average HCV participant remains in a unit for 7-8 years. You will get your full rental payment When an HCV tenant’s income permanently changes, the portion of rent paid by the PHA and the tenant is adjusted to reflect this change. This provides financial protection to landlords in that if an HCV tenant’s income decreases, there is a process for the PHA to pay a larger portion of the rent to the landlord so the landlord continues to receive a full rental payment. You will receive regular inspections Some landlords appreciate the routine inspections because they provide an opportunity to check on the condition of the unit. This can result in identifying maintenance needs that may have otherwise gone unnoticed for some time. Landlords that own or manage properties across wide geographies in particular tend to appreciate the value in having a routine, objective inspection of their rental units. Please note property owners of subsidized units are required to comply with all relevant state and local codes in addition to HQS requirements. If a property owner has units in a municipality where rental permits are required, it is expected that property owners obtain and maintain compliance with all applicable rental permit requirements. CDLI may, upon request, require submission of documentation to demonstrate rental permit or other state/local code compliance. You may request annual reasonable rent increases Compliant landlords may request a rent increase at the annual anniversary of the HAP contract by written notice to the PHA. You can help low-income elderly, disabled, and veteran households, as well as families with children by providing affordable housing More than 50 percent of vouchers serve elderly or non-elderly disabled families. About 45 percent of vouchers assist single-parent families.
