About This Building

Different Housing Options in Ansonia 1. Housing Owned by Ansonia Housing Authority The Ansonia Housing Authority offers various housing options that they own, manage, and maintain throughout Ansonia. These residences are strategically situated, creating vibrant neighborhoods with amenities such as community centers, gardens, and recreational areas. They cater to different needs, with some properties specifically designed for families while others cater to older adults. 2. Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Rental Assistance Program Formerly known as Section 8, the HCV Rental Assistance Program was established by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. This program, funded by HUD, provides rental subsidies to low-income families in privately-owned housing units across Ansonia, Shelton, and Seymour. How the HCV Program Works 2.1. Affordable Housing for Families Up to 647 low-income families are eligible for this program. Families contribute approximately 30% of their income towards housing and utilities. As a subsidy, the Ansonia Housing Authority covers the difference between the payment standard and the family's contribution, directly paying it to the landlord. 2.2. Partnership among Landlords, Low-Income Families, and the Housing Authority The HCV Program relies on a partnership between private landlords, low-income families, and the Ansonia Housing Authority. In order to achieve success, the collaboration of all three parties is vital. The Housing Authority highly values the contributions made by landlords, recognizing that their support is crucial for the program's effectiveness.
