$500 Landlord Incentive For all New HAB Section 8 Vouchers Leased

HomeFront announces a new Landlord Incentive paying $500 to all landlords for any new vouchers leased. This incentive is available until funding is depleted. This milestone is a major move for HomeFront in its mission to lease up 200 Housing Choice Vouchers in our community.

This news comes in the wake of a turbulent and tight rental market with COVID-19 eviction moratoriums at the state and national level, more need than availability for affordable and assisted housing, owners choosing to sell given the real estate market along with many recent initiatives and accomplishments of the company, including:

• Rebranding from Housing Authority of Billings to HomeFront – Partners for a Better Billings;
• Finalization of Strategic Plan to carry out new housing initiatives.

“I am hoping that this landlord incentive will engage additional landlords and will open up housing opportunities to over 100 families who have vouchers ready to use, but cannot find housing in the community.”

About HomeFront: HomeFront is this community’s Public Housing Authority (PHA). In 1973, the citizens of Billings voted for us to be this community’s PHA. Our mission is to elevate the quality of life in our community by creating innovative, affordable, and sustainable neighborhoods.
