Landlord Incentive Program
A new pilot program that aims to reduce financial risk for landlords and encourage them to open more rental units to Section 8 tenants will be offered by Bernalillo County beginning Jan. 2.
The Landlord Incentive Pilot Program provides landlords financial assistance to repair damages and cover vacancy loss due to a Bernalillo County Housing Department (BCHD) housing program participant. The program would reimburse landlords up to $7,500 per housing unit for damages caused by an active BCHD voucher program recipient currently renting the unit in question. All inquiries regarding the landlord collaboration should be sent to landlordclaims@bernco.gov
