Short answer: GPM welcomes Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in Jackson, MS. Have three things ready: your voucher’s bedroom count, the housing authority that issued it, and your Request for Tenancy Approval (RTA) packet. If your RTA packet is complete, we can show you homes right away, without applying first.
What should I have ready?
| Have ready | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Your voucher’s bedroom count | It decides which homes fit your voucher. |
| The housing authority that issued it | For example Jackson Housing Authority or Mississippi Regional Housing Authority. |
| Your complete RTA packet | Voucher holders with a full packet get priority and can see homes before applying. |
How does renting with a voucher work at GPM?
- Find homes that match your bedroom count on our Homes for Rent page. Most have a video tour you can watch any time.
- Call our leasing and HUD specialist, Angel Walton, at (601) 300-2050, extension 204. Tell her your bedroom count and housing authority.
- See the home. With a complete RTA packet, we can show you homes right away.
- Apply. Voucher holders go through the same screening as every applicant, in line with Fair Housing laws.
- Housing authority approval. The housing authority decides the approved rent for the home and inspects it before the lease starts. We handle the paperwork with them.
- Move in. Angel walks you through the move-in paperwork.
Why does the RTA packet matter so much?
The RTA packet is the form your housing authority needs to approve a specific home. When you already have it in hand, we can move straight to showing you homes and filling it out, which saves days. Without it, you can still apply; it just takes longer.
