Park City Communities, the Bridgeport Housing Authority, administers federal Housing Choice Vouchers locally. Landlords must register, pass HQS inspection, and accept the voucher contract under CT §46a-64c source-of-income protections.
Bridgeport's federally funded Section 8 voucher program runs through Park City Communities, formerly the Bridgeport Housing Authority. Landlords interested in renting to voucher holders submit a Request for Tenancy Approval, undergo Housing Quality Standards inspection, sign a HAP contract setting the contract rent split between tenant and PCC, and re-inspect annually. Combined with CT §46a-64c, voucher holders cannot be refused merely for being subsidized. The program also uses Bridgeport's Continuum of Care for veterans and chronically homeless tenants.
Failing inspection, breaking the HAP contract, or refusing voucher tenants outright can lead to contract termination and CHRO complaints under CT fair-housing law.
