Mainstream Voucher Program
Mainstream Voucher Program
Mainstream program vouchers enable households with a non-elderly person with disabilities to lease affordable, accessible private housing of their choice.
These vouchers are meant to help those with disabilities locate suitable and accessible housing, which is often difficult on the private market.
Who is Eligible?
Mainstream vouchers serve households that include a non-elderly person(s) with disabilities, defined as any family that includes a person with disabilities who is at least 18 years old and not yet 62 years old.
Applicants must be through referrals received from Kentucky Balance of State (KY BoS) Continuum of Care (CoC) partners. Referral jurisdiction will match that of the KY BoS CoC’s jurisdiction (118 counties).
Targeted Referral Groups
Referrals must include one of the following targeted groups:
- Transitioning out of institutional or other segregated settings serving persons with disabilities.
- At serious risk of institutionalization.
- Currently experiencing homelessness.
- Previously experienced homelessness and is a resident of permanent supportive housing, a rapid rehousing program, or other temporary tenant-based rental assistance program.
- At risk of homelessness.
