As an RIHousing Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) holder, you have the ability to choose a rental home in one of 19 Rhode Island communities. We have created this guide to provide you with an overview of living in any of those communities. With a Housing Choice Voucher, you are required to pay 30-40% of your income towards rent. RIHousing will pay the balance of the rental payment directly to your landlord.
The HCV is usable only in the zip code 02814, which is home to a number of well-maintained mobile home parks. Though dominated by single-family homes, there are several two-family dwellings that may provide rental choices.
