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 Housing Choice Voucher Program is financed through the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and administered
in Columbiana County by the Columbiana Metropolitan Housing Authority
(CMHA). CMHA administers 562 Housing Choice Vouchers in Columbiana County.
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.
The Housing Assistance Program (HAP) prohibits discrimination against any
person based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
