Does the HCV (Section 8) department screen the tenant?
The HCV (Section 8) department only qualifies the tenant to meet the program eligibility requirements. The Landlord is encouraged to screen prospective tenants for suitability. We have no past history for an applicant just receiving their voucher. If the participant has been on the program for a period of time, the staff may provide you with current and previous landlord information upon request. If the participant signs a release, we may also review the file and give the landlord information as to previous inspection findings, complaints or eviction information that exists in the file.
