What is required of students to be considered eligible for assistance?

To be considered eligible for assistance in the Housing Choice Voucher program, students must have a dependent child. This requirement reflects the program's focus on providing support to families and individuals who are responsible for raising children, thus helping to alleviate the financial burdens they face in securing stable housing. The program aims to assist those who may struggle to maintain adequate living conditions due to the costs associated with raising dependents.

Additionally, the program recognizes that families with children often have unique needs and circumstances that can affect their housing stability. Therefore, this eligibility criterion serves to identify and prioritize assistance for those most in need, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively to support families and help them thrive in a suitable living environment.
