Since April 27, 1970, Chatham County Housing Authority has endeavored to increase its housing stock in order to better help those requiring housing assistance. Through this program, individuals and families receive a voucher, also referred to as subsidy that can be used in securing housing of their choice which meets Section 8 program requirements. CCHA is responsible for the day-to-day administration and management of the program, including selecting households, determining eligibility for the program, issuing Housing Choice Vouchers, inspecting housing units, and making rental payments to owners.
