Iron County Housing COmmission (ICHC)

Program Overview

ICHC currently offers Public Housing when availability and the wait list is open.ICHC now offers single-bedroom apartments at its locations.

ICHC also offers the Section 8 Voucher Program.

The voucher program is federally funded through HUD. The goal is to assist low-income families in affording decent, safe, and sanitary housing.

Families that apply with ICHC and complete the briefing will be issued a voucher with a deadline to lease up but do hold the right to request an extension.

Once a family is issued a voucher, they are responsible for finding a rental with a landlord willing to rent under program standards.

A lease is required, along with proof of ownership and a completed, passing inspection.

Once this is completed, a subsidy is provided in check form directly to the landlord on behalf of the family. The family may be responsible for a portion of the rent and/or utilities based on program calculations.

Tenant Responsibilities

ICHC strives to assist each family’s needs and requests.
However, staff and rental availability are limited.

All tenants, once leased, are required to:

  • Notify ICHC of any changes to family household composition or income.
  • Meet program requirements and respond to all ICHC notices as required.

If you have any questions, please contact the ICHC office immediately.
