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. For more information on the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program (HCV), please visit: https://eirha.org/programs___services/section_8/index.php
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.

Tax Credit (Asbury and Evergreen Meadows): Townhome units available in Asbury and Peosta Iowa, offering 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms layout plans.
