PHOENIX – In efforts to increase inventory in low-to-moderate income housing, the city of Chandler has created a new incentive program for landlords.
The program — called Increasing Rental Opportunities in Chandler — gives landlords a $400 sign-on incentive for each property rented.
Former landlords also may qualify if they have not been active in Chandler’s Housing Choice Voucher program for at least six months.
Chandler’s Housing and Redevelopment Division is on the hunt for new landlords willing to participate in the city’s HCV, also known as the Section 8 program.
With more than 100 families with vouchers searching for housing in Chandler it is becoming increasingly difficult to find affordable housing within city limits.
