In Westchester County, HCR operates a model housing counseling and mobility program through the Enhanced Section 8 Outreach Program(ESOP). The goal of this special-purpose program is to assist HCV applicants and participants secure housing in racially and economically diverse neighborhoods. HCR plans to expand the counseling and mobility services to other local HCV Program jurisdictions.
Once a completed application is submitted and the applicant is determined to be eligible, the applicant is placed on a waiting list. When a subsidy becomes available, the household is issued a Housing Choice Voucher. The voucher certifies that the applicant is eligible for the HCV Program and also specifies, based on the number or people in the family, the size of the unit the family is authorized for. Among other requirements, the family must participate in the program for a minimum of 12 months before it is deemed eligible for the home ownership option.
