The Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino administers Housing Choice Vouchers across SBC, inspecting units for HUD habitability standards and paying the subsidy portion directly to the landlord.
HACSB serves over 11,000 voucher households across SBC. Landlords participating in the program receive direct subsidy payments and must allow annual HQS inspections covering plumbing, electrical, smoke detectors, and lead-paint conditions. Tenants pay roughly thirty percent of adjusted income, with HACSB covering the gap up to the local payment standard. Since California treats voucher income as protected, landlords cannot categorically refuse the program but may decline specific units or terms that fail HQS or rent-reasonableness tests.
Demanding side payments above the contracted rent, evading HQS inspections, or terminating a voucher tenant in retaliation for inspection findings can result in HUD program disbarment.
