The Authority, under contract with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), administers the Section 8 Existing Program for Kitsap County. The Program consists of 224 Section 8 certificates and 51 vouchers that are awarded to low-income persons or families by The Authority, subject to HUD guidelines. The Program guarantees that qualified landlords will receive fair market rents when they lease to qualified low-income persons or families. Landlords receive a subsidy for the difference between the fair market rent amount and the actual rent amount the qualified low-income individual or family pays. The Housing Authority receives housing assistance payments from HUD, and disburses funds directly to landlords. The Authority earns a fee from HUD to cover the administrative costs of qualifying individuals, families and landlords. In October of 1995, The Authority contracted with The City of Bremerton to assist in providing the necessary administration services.
