Preliminary applications must be submitted online at

languages. Individuals with disabilities or others who need additional support
may receive assistance completing a preliminary application by emailing
dhcd.hcv@maryland.gov or calling 1-800-445-4340. Maryland Department of Housing
and Community Development staff will be on site at the following locations to

All preliminary applicants will have an equal opportunity of
being selected. Submission of a preliminary application does not guarantee
placement on any waiting list. Waiting list placement will be based on a
computerized random selection. Those selected will have their applications
reviewed to determine preliminary eligibility and their preferences will be
applied to the selected applicants to determine the final order of the waiting
list. As housing vouchers become available, those next on the waiting lists
will be contacted to complete a full eligibility application.
The Housing Choice Voucher Program is a federally funded,
locally administered rental assistance program to assist very low-income
families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities in securing decent, safe
and affordable housing in the private market. The department administers the
program for several counties on the Eastern Shore and in Western Maryland.
Other larger jurisdictions in Maryland maintain their own local programs and
waiting lists.
Eligibility for a housing voucher is determined based on a
family’s total annual gross income and is limited to United States citizens and
specified categories of non-citizens who have eligible immigration status. In
general, the family’s income may not exceed 50% of the median income for the
county or metropolitan area in which the family resides.
