Section 8 vouchers and Ohio City apartments

Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) are administered countywide by the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) through a year-round preliminary application and mini-lottery selection process, regardless of which Cleveland neighborhood a household chooses. As with the rest of the City of Cleveland, Ohio City has no local ordinance requiring landlords to accept vouchers — Ohio has no statewide source-of-income law, and Cleveland has not enacted its own — so acceptance depends on the individual landlord. Every rental home we manage in and around Ohio City accepts Section 8 vouchers and is HUD-inspection-ready; see our full Section 8 guide for how the CMHA process works.
