Mainstream Voucher Program ONLY
As required, the Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) is providing notice
that on November 27, 2018, it will begin accepting on-line applications for the Mainstream
Voucher Program. The Mainstream Voucher Program provides federal voucher rental
assistance for eligible non -elderly disabled households in the County of Hawaii.
An eligible applicant is defined as a household composed of one or more non -elderly person
with disabilities, which may include additional household members who are non -elderly persons
with disabilities. A non -elderly person is defined as a person 18 years of age or older and less
than 62 years of age. A household where the sole member is an emancipated minor is not an
eligible household.
Applicants who are non -elderly persons with disabilities and provides documentation at the time
that they meet with a Housing Specialist to support that they are transitioning out of institutional
and other segregated settings, at serious risk of institutionalization, homeless, or at risk of
becoming homeless will be given a preference over those who do not meet this criteria.
The Mainstream Voucher Program provides rental assistance to help low income households
obtain affordable housing which is safe, decent, and sanitary.
