The
Housing Authority of Somerset (HAS) is a
municipal housing authority.
HAS provides affordable, safe, and
neighborhood homes for rent to income eligible
families, elderly, and persons with
disabilities.

is determined by your total family income,
rental history, and good community
relationships. The rental program is part of the partnership between the
housing authority and the U. S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development.

The
Housing Authority of Somerset (HAS)
administers Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers
(HCV) that are funded by the U. S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development.
Eligibility for the HCV program is
determined by your total family income.
This
program allows the family to choose the
location of the home to be rented.
For example, after being approved for
the issuance of a voucher, the family selects
a home in the city/county to be rented and
this could be a single family home, apartment,
or other type of quality housing.
The home selected must be affordable
and meet housing quality standard.
A
portion of the rent is paid directly to the
landlord on behalf of a family.
For
more information, please contact HAS at
606-679-1332.

Family
self-sufficiency is a HUD program that
encourages communities to develop local
strategies to help families obtain employment
that will lead to economic independence and
self-sufficiency. Public
housing agencies work with welfare agencies,
schools, businesses, and other local partners
to develop a comprehensive program that gives
participating FSS family members the skills
and experience to enable them to obtain
employment that pays a living wage.
To
be eligible for the program, families must be
currently receiving assistance through the
housing choice voucher program.
Interested families should discuss
participation in the FSS program with the
Housing Authority of Somerset.
