Why owners hand us this property

Accepting housing vouchers means reliable, government-backed rent — but also HQS inspections, HAP paperwork, and program rules most managers avoid. The Housing Guild has worked with voucher tenancies for decades and manages the program end-to-end so you get the stability without the administrative burden.

What we handle

HACSF coordination

We schedule and pass Housing Quality Standards inspections and manage the HAP contract paperwork.

Voucher-holder screening

Fair, source-of-income-compliant screening that respects California law while protecting your property.

Reliable rent

The housing-authority portion arrives on schedule; we manage the tenant portion and any recertifications.

Program compliance

Rent-reasonableness, annual recertification, and program rules handled correctly.

Every service, included

Full-service management — each of these is part of managing your section 8 & affordable.

Questions from owners

In California, do I have to accept vouchers?
California prohibits source-of-income discrimination, so owners generally cannot refuse a tenant solely for using a voucher. We help you accept and manage voucher tenancies compliantly and profitably.
How much do you charge to manage my property?
Our management fee depends on the property type, number of units, and scope. Request a free proposal and we'll send a clear, itemized quote — plus a rental analysis showing what your property should earn at market rent. No hidden charges.
What does full-service management include?
Marketing and leasing across 55+ listing sites, tenant screening, lease execution, rent collection, 24/7 maintenance coordination, inspections, owner accounting with monthly statements and direct-deposit distributions, and full compliance with the SF Rent Ordinance and AB 1482.
How and when do I get paid?
Rent is collected online and distributed to you by direct deposit each month, with a clear owner statement and year-end 1099 available in your online owner portal.
What areas do you serve?
San Francisco and the Peninsula — including Menlo Park, Redwood City, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Atherton, San Mateo, and Burlingame.
How do I get started?
Request a proposal or call (415) 625-0000. We'll review your property, send a management proposal and rental analysis, and — if it's a fit — take over onboarding end to end, including any existing tenancy.
