The Wichita Housing Authority administers federal Housing Choice Voucher Section 8 funds for Sedgwick County. Acceptance by Wichita landlords is voluntary, since Kansas does not require it.
The Wichita Housing Authority, a department of the City of Wichita, administers the federal Housing Choice Voucher program for the city and Sedgwick County. Qualifying tenants pay roughly 30 percent of adjusted income while HUD covers the balance up to a fair-market rent ceiling. Because Kansas does not protect source of income, Wichita landlords may freely choose whether to accept vouchers. Listings on platforms like Affordable Housing Online and the Wichita Housing Authority registry identify participating units. The Housing Authority also offers a Family Self-Sufficiency program and waiting-list management for the deeply oversubscribed program.
Once a landlord signs a Housing Assistance Payments contract with the Wichita Housing Authority, breaching the lease, refusing inspection, or attempting unauthorized side payments can lead to HUD removal from the program.
