About the Program

  • Funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
  • Helps provide affordable and safe housing for lower-income families, senior citizens and disabled persons.
  • The Scottsdale Housing Agency subsidizes the rent of eligible families by paying a rental subsidy directly to the landlord each month under a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Contract.
  • Offers rental assistance in which the subsidy amount is based upon the household’s annual gross income.
  • Families must be income eligible based upon HUD’s income guidelines, based on family size.
  • Housing Specialists provide case management in certifying and re-certifying tenants; approve units and leases, assuring housing assistance payments to owners or landlords; and monitor program performance and compliance with Federal and local laws.

For general questions, please call (480) 312-7717.
