The Housing Authority of the County of Riverside administers federal Housing Choice Vouchers across unincorporated areas and most cities. Landlords accepting vouchers sign a HAP contract setting rent at a reasonable level and pass annual housing quality inspections.
Riverside County's Housing Authority manages thousands of Housing Choice Vouchers funded by HUD. Eligible tenants pay roughly thirty percent of household income toward rent, with the Housing Authority paying the balance directly to the landlord. Landlords agree to pass an initial Housing Quality Standards inspection covering smoke alarms, working appliances, plumbing, and electrical safety, and to recertify annually. The Authority sets a payment-standard ceiling tied to HUD Fair Market Rents for the Riverside-San Bernardino metro area. Source-of-income protections under SB 329 mean refusing voucher tenants is unlawful.
Failing HQS inspections suspends HAP payments and can result in contract termination and reimbursement obligations to the Housing Authority.
