What is Section 8 Homeownership Option?
The San Joaquin Housing Authority has allocated 5% of their Housing Choice Voucher’s to participate in HUD’s Homeownership Option.
This plan allows eligible families to purchase a home and have part of their mortgage paid through this new form of voucher assistance.

income, composition and assets just like the
regular Housing Choice Voucher. In addition you

- Be a first time homebuyer (except elderly or disabled households).
- Select or reside in a unit that is eligible to receive assistance.
- Participate in a pre-homeownershipcounseling program.
- Meet the employment and income requirements
- Not have defaulted on a mortgage securing debt to purchase a home under the Homeownership Option.
