Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program
The Lexington Housing Authority manages a Federal Section 8 Voucher Program. Current voucher holders and landlords can reach out to Leidy Rodriguez with questions or issues at: LRodriguez@lexingtonhousing.org or 781-861-0900 x206.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program is a program that subsidizes the rent of low-income families, elderly and disabled using federal funds. Since housing assistance is provided on behalf of the family or individual, participants can find their own housing, including single-family homes, townhouses, and apartments. Under the Section 8 Housing Choice Program, a tenant may select a unit that rents for the amount determined to be comparable to other unassisted units in the area and which would result in the family paying no more than 40% of its adjusted monthly income towards the rent and utilities.
The Lexington Housing Authority is currently utilizing the 2024 Fair Market Rent amounts for our Payment Standards while HUD conducts a new rent study. We will update the website with new Payment Standards if/when they change.
