This web page contains information about how the program works. Please read it carefully, it will
help you locate a suitable place to live, and explains your responsibilities so you can stay on rental
assistance for as long as you need the help.
When you have been issued a Housing Choice Voucher you may locate a unit of your choice to
rent. If you are living in a unit that meets your needs and the landlord is willing to participate in the
program, you may be able to stay where you are. Lonoke County Housing Authority will inspect
the unit for Housing Quality Standards. If the unit is decent, safe and sanitary the necessary
paperwork can be completed, and the rent subsidy can begin.
For families who want to move, the links to the left will be helpful.
You are encouraged to ask questions about the program. Please feel free to submit questions at
any time during your participation in the program. If you prefer, you may submit your question(s) in
writing or by e-mail.
Application Process
Next, you will be placed on the waiting list. BUT all applications MUST be turned in with all the
required documents - if we do not receive all of the documents we will shred the application and
copies of documents you have provided and you will have to start over - we WILL NOT return the
incomplete application to you!
Once you are at the top of the waiting list and are ready to receive a voucher we will mail a letter
notifying you to attend an Orientation Session. We can not tell you how long that may be - there
are several variables that would determine that.
You MUST attend the Voucher Session to receive your housing assistance voucher. If you do not
attend the voucher session and you do not contact the Section 8 Manager at least 24 hours
BEFORE the voucher session - your application will be dropped and you will have to start
completely over to receive housing assistance.
