As of May 2022, more than 5 million people in 2.2 million low-income households rely upon vouchers to help them obtain safe and reliable housing. Since 1995, CGI has worked with the affordable housing industry to improve and streamline operations supporting locally administered HCV programs. We help you help families and individuals secure the affordable housing they need and deserve. 

Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) across the country partner with CGI to deliver HCV program operations and positive outcomes for families who need housing. 

CGI can provide end-to-end HCV program administration or support discrete tasks such as:
  • Waiting List Management
  • Eligibility determinations
  • Housing Quality Standards Inspections, including HUD’s new National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE) 
  • Rent reasonableness reviews
  • Landlord relations and payments
  • Case management for ongoing tenant services, including annual re-examinations, interim re-examinations, change of unit, and portability
  • PIC submissions and/or corrections
  • Administration of programs such as special purpose and project-based vouchers

CGI’s HCV operations services have enabled clients to quickly move from Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) “troubled” status to “high performer” status.
