The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Homeownership program of the Evansville Housing Authority (EHA) permits eligible voucher holders, including participants with portable vouchers, the option of purchasing a home with their Housing Choice Voucher rather than renting.
In order to be eligible, the individual or family must:
Owning a home is a big responsibility. It is important that you understand the responsibilities before you look at being a homeowner. If you plan to participate in the EHA Homeownership Program, it is mandatory that you complete an approved homeownership counseling course prior to purchasing a home. You may also need to resolve any credit problems and begin saving money so that you will be able to make a down payment. Participation in EHA’s Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program is also recommended.
The head of household, spouse or adult family member must have a gross annual income equal to Federal Minimum Wage, times 2000 hours (currently $14,500 per year).
The head of household, spouse or adult family member must (with the exception of elderly and/or disabled households) be employed full-time, i.e. at least 1560 hours annually (30 hours per week), and employed continuously for one (1) year prior to execution of the sales agreement.
