Section 8 and vouchers near Gordon Square

Gordon Square falls within ZIP 44102, one of the areas where we currently manage rental homes, and every home we manage accepts Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) and is HUD-inspection-ready. Ohio has no statewide law requiring landlords to accept vouchers, and Cleveland does not currently have a citywide source-of-income protection ordinance, so it's worth confirming voucher acceptance with any landlord you contact — ours accept them on every unit.

Start an application if you've already found a home you like, or read our Section 8 guide for how CMHA's voucher process, waitlist, and inspections work locally. CMHA's own Housing Choice Voucher page has current program details.
