The Madison County Housing Authority in Wood River, IL is a local housing agency that administers the Section 8 Program, also known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program. This federal rent assistance program helps low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities pay for safe and decent housing by providing tenant-based vouchers and project-based vouchers.
With Section 8, participants have the freedom to choose any housing that meets the program's requirements, and most families pay 30% of their monthly adjusted income as the tenant portion of the rent. The payment standard, which is the maximum monthly rent assistance, depends on the apartment size and location. The Madison County Housing Authority guides applicants through the program, assists in finding suitable housing, and offers the voluntary Section 8 Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program to help individuals improve their financial situation.
