Beginning next year, rental property owners in unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County will be required to accept Section 8 housing vouchers. The requirement comes under an ordinance passed by the county Board of Supervisors requiring that all people with the ability to pay for a given housing unit be considered for that unit, including those who would pay rent using Section 8 housing vouchers. The California Apartment Association argued that a mandated approach was the wrong one and that it is Section 8’s structural problems that dissuade many property owners from participating.
