Every person on the housing choice voucher program is assigned a case coordinator, a title which could have different names according to the Housing Authority.

Housing Choice Voucher Program
The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program is a federal assistance program that helps low-income elderly and disabled individuals afford housing of their choice by subsidizing a portion of their rent. This program allows participants to find housing in the private market that meets their needs. Additionally, some non-profit organizations and local government agencies also provide housing assistance programs specifically designed for these populations.
An enhanced voucher would mean one that was given for a special reason or purpose. They're the same as Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8)
