Section 8 housing-choice vouchers are administered locally by the Ventura County Area Housing Authority and may be used at any qualifying Thousand Oaks rental. Landlords cannot refuse vouchers under California FEHA Government Code 12955 (source-of-income protection).
The Ventura County Area Housing Authority (AHA) administers the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program for Thousand Oaks tenants. Eligible tenants pay roughly 30% of income toward rent, with the voucher covering the balance up to a fair-market-rent ceiling. Landlords accepting vouchers sign a Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract and submit units for an AHA inspection. Since 2020, landlords cannot refuse vouchers under California source-of-income rules. Landlords may still screen applicants on credit, rental history, and consistent income standards.
Refusing vouchers, posting 'no Section 8,' or terminating a HAP contract retaliatorily violates FEHA and may trigger CRD complaints, civil penalties, and damages awards.
