The East Tennessee Human Resource Agency administers the Housing Choice Voucher Program in 16 counties of East Tennessee. ETHRA is working to make property owners and managers aware of the Housing Choice Voucher Program, a nonprofit effort funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to help local low-income families obtain safe, affordable housing.

Many qualified families are looking for homes, and additional property owners/managers are greatly needed.

Funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, this program helps families obtain safe, decent housing at an affordable price.

In addition to 797 traditional housing vouchers, ETHRA has 50 Mainstream Vouchers for families with non-elderly disabled adults.

Voucher holders choose their own homes, which are inspected to ensure they meet HUD’s Housing Quality Standards. The rental subsidy is income-based and paid directly to the property owner.

Property owners and managers who would like to participate are encouraged to contact Lisa Condrey or Steve Bandy at 865-691-2551 (e-mail: lcondrey@ethra.org and sbandy@ethra.org) for more information.landlord.
