The Housing Authority is required to conduct an annual re-certification for every participant in the Section 8 program. You will be sent paperwork to sign and must provide updated income verification, as well as, verification for any qualified medical deductions. Additionally, your rental unit must be inspected once a year in order to ensure that all health and safety deficiencies are remedied. If you notice any repairs needed or issues throughout the year, they must be reported to your landlord immediately. Do not wait for the inspection.
