🏀 Rules of the Game
Today, I want to talk about owning a home while on Section 8. Is it possible in San Joaquin County?
The answer is… yes.
Here’s today’s rule:
Just because you receive a Housing Choice Voucher doesn’t mean homeownership is out of reach. The Housing Authority of San Joaquin County offers a Homeownership Voucher Program for eligible voucher holders. Instead of your voucher helping pay rent, it may help with your monthly mortgage payment. (San Joaquin Housing Authority)
Now here’s the fine print. This program doesn’t provide the down payment, but you may be able to combine it with other down payment assistance programs if you qualify. (USAGov)
So before you count yourself out, learn the rules of the game.
