Choice Mobility
After living in a Housing Authority unit for one year, residents have the option to request a Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) in the private market. BHA will issue available vouchers in date and time order of the requests.
If you have been in your unit at least one year and are interested in exercising Choice Mobility, please contact your Community Manager for more information.
Rent is due on the 1st of the month, late after the 5th. A $40 late fee is assessed on the 6th of the month if rent has not been paid.

Yes, it is your responsibility to keep the area around your unit free of trash and looking nice for your family and your community.
Portability
Tenants may choose to transfer or “port” their voucher when they move to a location outside of the city of Biloxi. In this instance, BHA is the “initial” PHA, and the PHA that has jurisdiction where the tenant will be moving is called the “receiving” PHA. The receiving PHA must administer the voucher, although it has the choice of absorbing the cost of the ported voucher or billing the initial PHA.
If you are interested in exercising portability, please contact your HCV Case Manager for more information.
