Equal opportunity statement
Columbiana Metropolitan Housing Authority will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, handicap, status as a Vietnam-era or special disabled veteran, political affiliation or union affiliation, in accordance with applicable state and federal laws.
The Columbiana Metropolitan Housing Authority has the responsibility to provide safe, decent and affordable housing to its residents, as well as, promote customer satisfaction, pride and respect by working with residents for strong and safe neighborhoods.
Rent subsidy assistance is available to families with very low incomes throughout Columbiana County. The program is run according to CMHA's Administrative Plan adopted for HCV Existing.
If you qualify for housing assistance (a family is taken from the top of the waiting list), you may find the housing of your choice but it must be inspected by the housing authority and meet or exceed the housing quality standards. You also may be able to remain where you now live if your unit passes a CMHA inspection and does not exceed the payment standard schedule of maximum rents.
Once you qualify, you will pay no more than 30% of your adjusted gross income for rent.
You will rent directly from the landlord and have all responsibilities like any other tenant in a private, unassisted dwelling. You must abide by the lease, including the provision that you give a 30 day notice if you intend to move. This is done through the HCV office.
