HOUSING CHOICEBenefits
Atlanta Housing Authority's Housing Choice Programs (formerly Section 8) provide rental assistance to low-income families in the private rental market. AHA works with families and property owners throughout Atlanta to provide choice-based, affordable housing.
  • Low Vacancy Rates: Because clients are always looking for good, affordable housing, a Housing Choice property owner rarely has a vacant property.
  • Good Clients: AHA conducts extensive background checks (including criminal and payment history) on all potential Housing Choice clients. property owners are able to create their own selection criteria, too. A participating property owner is not required to rent to a family who does not meet all eligibility requirements.
  • Well-Maintained Housing: AHA conducts an initial property inspection and follow-up annual inspections. Along with the property owner's period checks, these inspections insure that properties are maintained at the highest level.
  • Guaranteed Rent: Most Housing Choice families have a financial safety net if they experience a loss of income. In those instances, AHA normally increases its portion of the rent subsidy.
  • Direct Deposit: Housing Choice property owners receive their rental payments on time, every month.
  • Limited Paperwork: All leases and contracts are standardized and prepared by AHA at its offices. AHA does the bulk of the paperwork.
