What we do.

The United States Housing Act of 1937 was responsible for the birth of federal housing program initiatives. The Act was intended to provide financial assistance to states and cities for affordable housing for low-income residents. Section 8 of the Housing Act, often simply known as Section 8, is now known as the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program. 

The Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) was established on October 2, 1974 and provides "tenant-based" rental assistance to households that earn 50% of the area median income or less. This assistance is utilized at rental units that meet program specific housing standards, are owned by a willing property owner, and are within Roseville or Rocklin city limits. This rental assistance ensures that the household is able to afford to live in safe and decent housing.
