Thank you for your interest in EIRHA’s housing programs.  We maintain a waiting list for our housing programs according to Federal housing laws. Our online pre-application is an easy, step-by-step way to get your name on our waiting lists.

USDA and Tax Credit Program applications are temporarily unavailable online. Please call us at 563-556-4166 to request a paper application.

You must complete the entire application for the application to be valid.

Before you begin the application, you must have the names, dates of birth, and Social Security Numbers available for all household members.  You should also know the amount of income, assets, and expenses for each household member.

If you are unsure which housing program or property is right for you, go back and review the property and program descriptions on our Web site before beginning the application.

A brief description of the programs offered include:

Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) – qualifying households (50% or below County Median Income (CMI)) pay a minimum of 30% of their adjusted income or $50.00, whichever is greater, toward rent and utilities. EIRHA then makes monthly rental payments on behalf of the household to their landlord. The client will receive a voucher that they can utilize within the 7 counties EIRHA serves.

Public Housing – qualifying households (80% or below County Median Income (CMI)) pay a minimum of 30% of their adjusted income or $50, whichever is greater, toward rent and utilities. Rental payments are made directly to EIRHA on the first of the month. Units are owned by EIRHA and scattered throughout Dubuque, Delaware, Jackson and Clinton counties.
