Public Housing Program/Housing Choice Vouchers:
Public housing provides safe rental housing
for eligible low-income families, the elderly,

vouchers are also available to assist very low

with disabilities with rent for a private
market apartment.
If you are interested in applying for public housing or a housing choice voucher, contact your local Public Housing Authority at: www.hud.gov/offices/pih/pha/contacts/states/wv.cfm
