County Housing’s Landlord Incentives Program is designed to strengthen partnerships with landlords, expand access to safe, affordable housing across St. Louis County, and encourage greater participation in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program.
The program provides financial incentives, assistance, and reimbursements to landlords, helping them maintain quality homes while reducing perceived risks associated with HCV tenancy.
By supporting property owners and fostering long-term participation, County Housing aims to increase housing options and build stronger relationships with landlords throughout the community.

This incentive is part of our ongoing effort to expand housing choice and increase access to quality rental opportunities for families in our community.
High-opportunity zip codes include:
