How do Section 8 payments work with RPM?

When RPM is managing a Section 8 unit, we will receive the portion of the rent covered by Section 8 directly from the Housing Authority.

RPM will be registered as the managing agent, so the Section 8 office will contact us regarding inspections, maintenance, and other administrative issues.

We will fill out the relevant paperwork to receive Section 8 payments directly. The local Section 8 office will set the rent for a Section 8 property based on their analysis of market rents. If a property is rented through Section 8, the owner must adhere to the Section 8 agency’s set rental rate.

Section 8 is a rental program for very low-income households. Information regarding the program should be directed to the Housing Authority of the County of Humboldt. They do not have a website, but may be reached by phone at 707-443-4583 . For more information, refer to the Housing Division website.
