    The Section 8 HCV Program is the largest federal housing program in the United States with the City of Phoenix providing more than 6,000 local, low-income families with assisted housing. Eligible participants pay up to 30 percent of their monthly income towards rent.

This allows voucher recipients to select rental housing of their choice.​​​
