Section 8 Housing

MOCA’s Housing Department administers the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program for Camden, Laclede, Miller and Pulaski Counties. The program’s primary goals are to help low-income families in obtaining safe, decent and affordable privately–owned rental housing.

The amount of assistance for eligible families is determined by income levels. All units must meet HUD Housing Quality Standards to be eligible for the Section 8 HUD program. Anyone interested in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program is encouraged to apply as soon as possible at MOCA. There is a waiting list to participate in the rental program, and selection from the waiting list is strictly by date and time of application.
