Southeastern Community Action Partnership, Inc. has been providing affordable housing assistance options as a Public Housing Agency (PHA), to Scotland County for over 30 years. The mission of the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Section 8 Program is “to promote adequate and affordable housing, economic opportunity, and a suitable living environment free from discrimination”.
The Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) is the culmination of public housing legislation and programs that began in the 1930s and changed over time to better serve families and participants. The Housing & Community Development Act of 1974 created the Section 8 Program which enabled federal housing rental assistance payments to be paid directly to the owners of private housing units, as subsidy assistance to lower income families.
SCAP, Inc. offers 3 types of housing programs to eligible individuals and families through the Tenant-Based Housing Choice Voucher, Project-Based Housing Voucher, and HCV Home Ownership Program.
Rental Properties NEEDED in Scotland CO. (can be within a 10-mile radius of Scotland Co. Line)
HCV Home Ownership Program allows current voucher recipients the option to purchase a home; transferring the subsidy from rental assistance to a mortgage payment. SCFS, Inc. partners with local agencies that provide housing counseling services to educated program participants on the home buying process.
