Effective March 1, 2023 -- HACM Partners with AffordableHousing.com
AffordableHousing.com is a website that used to go under the name "Go Section8". It rebranded a while ago and the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee (HACM) started a partnership with this site.
Rental property owners used to call or visit HACM to add their available properties to a list that the Section 8 client base could browse.
Now, new listings can be added to AffordableHousing.com at any time by the rental owner themselves, including adding pictures and other details about the property.
Prospective tenants can communicate directly through the website to rental property owners about their listings.
The first step is that a rental property owner needs to make an account on the AffordableHousing.com website.
Note that although the site is free to use, it will repeatedly ask for payment for premium services and offerings. These premium services are optional and are not required to use the site.
Come to the member event on April 17, 2023 to hear from Steve Fendt, Landlord Outreach Coordinator, to learn more about this website and more about the Rent Assistance program offered through HACM.
