Ready for Section 8 in San Diego?

americanheritageproperties • August 27, 2018

On July 30, 2018, the San Diego City Council passed an ordinance that will require landlords to participate in the Section 8 Housing Program as of August 1, 2019.

If you have a rental property in the city of San Diego then you will be required to accept this government administered program.

At American Heritage Properties, we have experimented with the program several times over the years without success. We are confident that improvements in the system over the years will allow for a smooth transition into the program for landlords.

For more information on the program go to:

At American Heritage, we will be orienting ourselves on the program over the next years so we are ready for the August 1 start date.
