The Garden Grove Housing Authority operates under federal grants received from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide rental subsidies to low-income families. The program assists over 2,300 families with their monthly rent.

Families qualify for rental subsidies based on their income. Once eligibility is determined, families are authorized to seek privately owned rental units.

Due to a long waiting list, the Housing Authority accepts new applications for the program only periodically. A public announcement is made when the program is open to new applicants.

For more information, please call the Housing Authority at (714) 741-5150. Garden Grove Housing Authority is located at

The Garden Grove Housing Authority's FY 2020-2024 Five Year and Annual Plan establishes goals and objectives to promote adequate and affordable housing, economic opportunity, and a suitable living environment free from discrimination.

The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has certain requirements of Section 8 rental assistance recipients. Participation in the Section 8 program, as well as housing assistance, may be terminated if any of the following requirements are not met:

You must report changes in family income (increases or decreases), sources of income, family composition (addition or deletion of family members) or changes in student status for dependent(s) over the age of eighteenwithin 3 weeks using Change Report Form. Failure to report any changes to the Housing Authority constitutes fraud, and is grounds for termination of assistance as well as criminal prosecution.

You must give a 30-day Written Notice to your owner before you intend to move if the terms of your lease allows. You must notify the Housing Authority before vacating the rental unit. Give the Housing Authority a copy of any move notice from the owner.

90-DAYS OR MORE FOR TERMINATION (EVICTION) NOTICE REQUIREMENT AND FORECLOSURE IS NOT GOOD CAUSE TO TERMINATE THE TENANCY

On May 20, 2009 a new federal law protecting your rights became law (Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act, Pub. L. No. 111-22, § 702 (2009). Section 8 housing choice voucher tenants have new rights regarding eviction from units that have been foreclosed upon. The new owner, who now owns your home as a result of the foreclosure, must follow these rules:

1) If you have a lease for a fixed term, such as one year, and the lease has not expired, you have a right to remain in the unit and cannot be evicted (except for actions that you, members of your family or your guests take which constitute good cause) until the end of the lease term.

2) If your lease ends in less than 90 days the new owner may not evict you without giving you at a minimum 90 days notice.

3) The new owner wanting the property vacant before they sell it is not good cause for terminating the tenancy or for eviction.

4) There is one exception to the rule that you may not be evicted during the term of your lease. If the new owner who acquired the property at foreclosure wants to occupy the unit as his or her primary residence, that owner may give you a 90 day notice to vacate your home even if your lease runs for longer than 90 days. If the new owner tells you that you have to leave, offers you money to leave or gives you a notice of eviction, you should contact your worker at the Garden Grove Housing Authority - tell us what is happening and give us a copy of any notice.
