Landlord Partnership Program
The San Diego Housing Commission’s (SDHC) Landlord Partnership Program (LPP) provides financial and support incentives to landlords who rent to families who receive federal rental assistance through the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program administered by SDHC.
Landlords are essential partners of SDHC’s federal rental assistance program, which helps approximately 17,000 low-income households in the City of San Diego. LPP aims to increase the appeal of landlord participation in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program.
The SDHC Landlord Services Unit holds monthly seminars for landlords interested in learning more about the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program.
For additional information about LPP, please contact lpp@sdhc.org or 619-578-7131.

Move Flexibility Allowance
In cases when there is a delay in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher tenant vacating a subsidized unit to move into a new unit, the landlord may request up to an additional five days of Housing Assistance Payment overlap to ensure neither landlord is harmed in the process. Landlords can apply for this incentive by contacting the housing assistant assigned to the tenant that is vacating the subsidized unit.
Mobility Program
All Mobility Program services, including housing search assistance, were discontinued effective July 1, 2024.
