Best Answer

This is called porting your voucher. You need to contact the housing authority of the area you like to move to. This will be known as your receiving housing authority. Then contact your initial housing authority, the one who is giving your assistance now. Arranged between the two for you to import your voucher. Meanwhile look for your new apartment/home.

This is known as porting: you'll need to make arrangements and follow the directions of both Housing Authorities involved. Be aware that you are subject to a new interview and acceptance process when you port to the new location: an existing voucher is not a free pass!
