Long Island Sect. 8 Landlords Interested In Increased Rental Amt?

[Shatomma Tolliver]

Hello All,

Just sharing an interesting new program that some of you may be interested in. 

I have recently made connection with a Housing Mobility Manager who is directing a new program in partnership with a major community development organization on Long Island.

This new program helps families with school-aged children who currently have a Section 8 Voucher move into communities with high quality schools, parks, open space, and healthy, safe environments.

What this means for Landlords:

Competitive Rent; The higher voucher payment amounts open up neighborhoods that used to be unaffordable to voucher holders.
 
Basically, The program is willing to pay (a higher section 8 subsidy amount) AKA more money for rental houses that are located in what they consider to be "Opportunity Areas". 

The property must be located in Nassau or Suffolk County. I have a complete list of the Eligibile "Opportunity Areas" for those that are interested, just let me know. 

I hope everyone stays well.
