Portability Process

Albany Housing Authority Portability Process

If you are interested in relocating to the City of Albany with your voucher, you must contact your current Housing Authority and request to have your voucher sent here. We prefer to have packets emailed.
Please note that all participants will be required to attend a briefing prior to receiving their voucher, estimates of assistance and RFTA. The size of your voucher could change. It will be issued based on the Albany Housing Authority Administration Plan. Please do not wait until we have received your port packet, to report household or income changes, make sure to report them to your current caseworker so that we receive all up to date information. This will delay the processing of your unit approval and possibly result in the return of your packet to your Housing Authority.
