🏡 YHRC October 2026 Housing Assistance Update

Here’s a look at the impact of our Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program during October!

📊 October by the Numbers

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 219 Families Assisted – A total of 219 households received rental assistance through our voucher programs throughout our four county area.

💰 $100,643 in Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) – The total amount YHRC paid toward participating families' rent for the month of October.

These payments help bridge the gap between what eligible families can afford and the cost of their housing, while providing rental income to participating landlords.

We appreciate our local landlords and community partners who help make affordable housing opportunities possible!
