Venango County Housing Authority

Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8):

Those who participate in the Housing Choice Voucher Program choose a qualified house, apartment, townhouse, or mobile home located anywhere in the jurisdiction of Venango County except within the city limits of Oil City and Franklin. These two cities have their own housing authorities and should be contacted directly for information on their programs. In order to participate in the Housing Choice Voucher Program you must be income eligible (very low income limit for the area) and not be disqualified from participation as a result of certain criminal offenses or past default. The housing unit owner must also agree to participate in the Housing Choice Voucher Program and the unit must pass the Housing Quality Standards inspection, meeting minimum guidelines as established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

If you are in need of housing assistance in the area please contact the Housing Authority directly to obtain more information about eligibility requirements,  the status of any waiting lists and their application procedures.
