The St. Francois County Public Housing Agency administers approximately 2370 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in multiple counties.

Project-Based Vouchers are tied to specific housing units rather than following the tenant. Landlords or developers partner with the housing authority to reserve units for eligible low-income families. Unlike tenant-based HCV vouchers, PBV assistance stays with the unit if the tenant moves.
