This Housing and Redevelopment Division oversees, manages and facilitates affordable housing programs similar to a Housing Authority. The Division also operates and links to other supportive services for those living in affordable and federally subsidized housing programs. Our primary focus is to provide affordable rental housing. On occasion, we develop, operate or link to homeownership programs for families that earn less the 80% of area median income.

The Division is committed to sustaining and expanding the supply of affordable and subsidized housing. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funding for the core of the City’s Public Housing operating budget, modernization program, youth after school programs, family self-sufficiency opportunities, Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, and other federally funded supportive programs.

The Division is the clearinghouse for tax credit proposals to the Arizona State Department of Commerce and serves as the City’s liaison to the Industrial Development Authority on projects pertaining to affordable housing. Through these and other resources, this predominantly grant funded division of government provides affordable/subsidized housing opportunities and supportive services for low and moderate-income families in Chandler.

Housing Choice Voucher (aka Section 8) Program
Under this program, a family’s rent is subsidized based on their monthly-adjusted income level. Participants in this program pay 30 percent of their monthly-adjusted income toward rent in participating, private market rental units, while HUD, through the city, pays the balance of the rent amount.
