In the Section 8 Homeownership program, the HRA payments go towards making a participant's mortgage payment rather than towards rent assistance payments. The program is open to participants who have been on the voucher program for at least one year.

To get on this program the family must be issued a Homeownership voucher.  To get a Homeownership voucher a family must be employed for a year, make a certain amount of money each year and be a first time home buyer.  Disabled families are given certain exemptions (i.e. do not need to be employed).

The homeownership program is for our service area in Northwest Minnesota. The counties in this service are: Kittson, Lake of the Woods, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake, and Roseau counties.
