The Housing Authority of the City of Shreveport continues to pursue its commitment to provide families with high quality homes absent the physical markers of public housing. By purchasing homes located in residential communities, the HACS enables residents to live in a neighborhood setting and still have their rent subsidized.
In 1988, under the 67 Acquisition Program, homes were purchased from the Federal Housing Association (FHA) and private homeowners. An additional 14 homes were purchased in 1990 under the Scattered Sites (LA 2-9) initiative.
All homes purchased under these two programs are designated as single family units. Utilities are the responsibility of the tenant. Tenants are eligible to participate in all programs offered by the HACS.

HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM
Eligible families must select units that meet Housing Authority of the City of Shreveport (HACS) quality standards and the “reasonable” rent guidelines. If HACS approves the selection, then HACS contracts with the owner to make rent subsidy payments on behalf of the family. The Housing Authority of the City of Shreveport (HACS) has the right to reject a lease if the property does not meet the quality standards or the rent is considered unreasonable. Under the Section 8 program, tenants are responsible for the total cost of utilities, rent deposit, and service connection fees.
Two types of vouchers are available, tenant-based and project-based. Under the tenant-based voucher program, the Housing Authority of the City of Shreveport (HACS) issues an eligible family a voucher and the family selects a home of choice. If the family moves out of the home, the contract with the owner ends and the family can move with continued assistance to another home. Under the project-based voucher program, HACS enters into an assistance contract with the owner for a specified number of units and for a specified term. HACS refers families from its waiting list to the project owner to fill vacancies. Because the assistance is tied to the unit, a family who moves from the project-based unit does not have any right to continued housing assistance. However, they may be eligible for a tenant-based voucher when one becomes available.
For more information on how to apply and eligibility requirements, contact the Section 8 Office at (318) 698-3610.
