Housing Choice Voucher Program
The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program is more than rental assistance—it is a critical part of the South Coast housing continuum. Across Coos and Curry Counties, the program helps seniors, working families, veterans, and individuals with disabilities remain connected to their communities, schools, healthcare, and employment.As housing costs continue to rise across Oregon’s South Coast, the Housing Choice Voucher Program helps bridge the gap between wages, fixed incomes, and the real cost of housing. The program not only supports tenants—it also strengthens the local housing market by providing reliable rental income to participating landlords throughout the region.
The Housing Choice Voucher Program also connects to a broader regional housing strategy that includes affordable housing development, Project-Based Vouchers (PBVs), Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH), preservation of aging affordable housing sites, and regional partnerships through the SPARC framework.
Together, these efforts are helping build a stronger and more connected housing continuum for the South Coast
What Are Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) and Project-Based Vouchers (PBV)?
The Housing Authority administers both the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and Project-Based Voucher (PBV) programs to help low-income households afford safe, decent, and stable housing.
The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program allows eligible households to rent homes or apartments in the private market from participating landlords. The rental assistance is portable, meaning participants can generally move to another eligible unit while keeping their voucher.
The Project-Based Voucher (PBV) Program provides rental assistance that is tied to specific apartments within designated housing developments. If a family moves from a PBV unit, the subsidy remains with that apartment for the next eligible household.
Both programs are administered by the Coos-Curry Housing Authority, which pays a portion of the rent directly to participating landlords on behalf of eligible households.
