Information for New Prospective Landlord Partners

Are you new to the Section 8 voucher program?

Joining the Housing Choice Voucher program as a new landlord is a rewarding way to secure stable monthly payments while helping Evansdale grow. If you are new to Section 8, getting started is easy: simply ensure your rental meets basic safety requirements and list your property. You will screen applicants using your own criteria, and EMHA will guide you through a standard inspection process. Once completed, we facilitate the contract so you can begin receiving direct subsidy payments. We are here to help new partners every step of the way.
