It's a commonly applied local overlay in the 'usual suspects' of States that have restrictive tenant protections, so its unfortunate that you thought you didn't have to accept it...technically you may not have been required to 'accept the voucher', but you have to allow them the opportunity to apply and then allow the housing office to decline the property.
