Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8)
Verified · October 23, 2026 Deadline soon — check dates
Jacksonville Housing administers the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, and its HCV Participants page links to utility allowances and information on transferring (porting) a voucher to Jacksonville and lets applicants log into Rent Cafe to view wait list status. Jacksonville Housing’s official site shows no current open notice for the general HCV waiting list, so the waiting list is closed / not currently accepting new applications on the official pages checked.
