Q: What is the difference between Full Coverage and Partial Coverage Zip Codes for Section 8 Voucher Holders?

A: Full coverage zip codes mean that any address in that zip code is covered. Partial coverage zip codes, on the other hand, might only accept vouchers in certain parts. Let’s take zip code 77493 as an example. Some of the area is covered by Houston Housing AND Harris County Housing. Other areas are only covered by Harris County. It’s important that if you are looking in Partial coverage zip codes that you are certain that the address is covered.

Q: Is there a difference in the amount paid for Full or Partial zip codes?

A: No, there is no difference. The amount shown on your Affordability Worksheets for each tier is the same amount for Full and Partial Zip codes in that tier.
