Section 8 - Housing Choice Voucher ProgramCORONAVIRUS UPDATE CLICK HERE The Housing Choice Voucher Program is a Federal Housing Program funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In order to determine preliminary eligibility an applicant must supply our office with an application issued by MASSNAHRO which you can download here. The Malden Housing Authority’s Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program is located at 89 Pearl Street for Participants. Applicants must apply through the Tenant Selection Department at 630 Salem Street Advertising and locating property has never been easier!
It is recommended that Landlords add photos to their listing for better advertising and faster lease up! The Housing Choice Voucher Program has a mobility component. A Housing Choice Voucher issued by the Malden Housing Authority can be used anywhere in the United States, including Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Before you are issued a Housing Choice Voucher you must reach the top of the waiting list and meet all of the eligibility requirements. If you are determined to be eligible, you are then issued a voucher and should then begin your search for an apartment. Once you find an apartment and enter into an agreement with both your landlord and the housing authority, the amount you and the Malden Housing Authority pay to the landlord will be determined and written into the lease and contract. After the lease and contract have been signed and executed, you and the Malden Housing Authority will each send a share of the rent directly to the landlord.
