The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino provides essential housing assistance services to the residents of Adelanto. Through a variety of programs, the Housing Authority offers support tailored to meet the needs of low-income households.
The Tenant-Based Voucher Rental Assistance Program, also known as Section 8 or the Housing Choice Voucher Program, empowers eligible low-income families by providing rental assistance. This assistance enables them to lease homes or apartments of their choosing from landlords in the regular rental market. To cater to different population needs, participants are allocated into specific sub-programs:
Due to funding limitations from the federal government, the waiting list for this program may only open periodically, resulting in long wait times for eligible families.
Launched in 2012, this program offers a five-year rental assistance limit, with hardship exemptions available, to non-elderly/non-disabled households. It includes personalized coaching and referrals to supportive services and employment opportunities.
Begun in 2015, this initiative provides reduced rent calculations based on household income, assisting various households including the elderly, disabled, and public housing beneficiaries.
This program delivers rental assistance to families living in specific sites, with assistance ceasing if the family moves. Each site has its own waiting list, organized by bedroom size.
Also known as the Affordable Housing Program, it provides rental assistance to families in properties owned and managed by the Housing Authority, with tenants paying a portion of their income towards rent.
Introduced to assist low-income families in finding and affording rental housing, the EHV program targets those at risk of homelessness or fleeing dangerous situations.
Designed for homeless or mentally ill families with disabilities, this program operates in collaboration with the Department of Behavioral Health, supported by HUD funding.
Awarded competitively, these vouchers help non-elderly, low-income persons with disabilities find housing outside of institutional settings.
In partnership with Children and Family Services, this program addresses the housing needs of families and youth at risk of homelessness, funded by a HUD grant.
The Housing Authority manages various programs for low-income households. However, limited federal funding means eligible families may face long waits for assistance.
