Sedgwick Housing Authority manages approximately 20 Public Housing units in Sedgwick. You may request a transfer to other Public Housing developments but cannot use this benefit at private rental properties.

The Rental Assistance Demonstration program at Sedgwick Housing Authority converts Public Housing units to project-based assistance with long-term contracts. RAD units in Sedgwick maintain the same resident protections as Public Housing while enabling capital improvements to the properties.
HCV Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) closed
The Housing Choice Voucher program at Sedgwick Housing Authority provides rental assistance that allows you to choose any privately-owned rental unit that meets program requirements. You pay approximately 30% of your adjusted monthly income toward rent, and the voucher covers the remainder up to the Fair Market Rent for Sedgwick. Vouchers are portable — you can take them with you if you move to a different city or state.
PBV Project-Based Voucher closed
Project-Based Vouchers at Sedgwick Housing Authority are attached to specific apartment complexes or units in Sedgwick. Unlike the standard Housing Choice Voucher, PBV assistance stays with the property — not with you. However, after one year of occupancy, you may request a standard portable voucher. PBV waitlists often move faster because fewer applicants know about them.
