One of the cornerstones of the OHA Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program is property owners participate by making their properties available for rent to the residents we serve.

At OHA, we work hard to help our residents identify properties that work for their family’s needs, maintain the quality of their housing through annual inspections and we support their efforts to obtain self-sufficiency through an array of supportive services.
