In order to be eligible for Moving To Work, applicants must apply to the DSHA Public Housing and Section 8/Housing Choice Voucher Waiting List. Effective March 18, 2022, the Waiting List is closed. Please check back at a later date to see if the waiting list has re-opened.
Applicants for the Public Housing (PH) and Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers programs are placed on a combined waiting list for assistance. Applicants are given the first available subsidy location, which may be a public housing site or in the form of a Housing Choice Voucher for use in the private market. Most residents, with the exception of the elderly and disabled, are eligible to receive subsidies under these programs for a maximum of seven years while they take part in a mandatory self-sufficiency program. The MTW program has two levels, MTW Tier I (the first five years) and MTW Tier II (the final two years).
Accepting applications by referral only.
The Section 811 Project Rental Assistance (PRA) Program is a project-based rental assistance program for individuals with extremely low incomes (less than 30% of Area Median Income) and disabilities for which they require long-term services. The Program is operated as a partnership between the Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) and the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS). A “project-based” rental assistance program means a rental subsidy is paid directly to a designated participating property. Because the property receives this subsidy from DSHA, they are able to charge lower rents to Section 811 program participants.
Only in designated Section 811 properties. In Delaware, designated Section 811 properties are those that have signed a Rental Assistance Contract with DSHA. Properties specify how many rental units they would like to “set aside” for Section 811 residents. Only residents of those rental units in those designated properties will be able to enjoy the benefits of Section 811 assistance.
A referrals are submitted by a DHSS representative on your behalf, please contact your Case Manager.

The State Rental Assistance Program (SRAP) helps low-income individuals who require affordable housing and supportive services to live safely and independently in the community. SRAP is made possible by annual funding from the Delaware General Assembly. The program uses SRAP vouchers administered by DSHA for households referred by the Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) and the Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families (DSCYF). This population includes: Individuals exiting long-term care facilities and nursing homes; Individuals at risk of being admitted to, or requiring services from a state-supported institution; Young people exiting foster care; and Families for whom the lack of affordable housing is a barrier to reunification. Program participants contribute 28% of their monthly income for rent, and SRAP subsidizes the remaining portion. All units subsidized by SRAP funds will be inspected by DSHA to ensure they meet the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Housing Quality Standards.
