The Olmstead Housing Subsidy (OHS) is a rental subsidy designed to mirror Housing Choice Vouchers, or Section 8, for a specialized population. This rental subsidy is intended to help seniors and people with disabilities leave nursing homes, or prevent nursing home placement. The participant is free to choose any housing that meets the requirement of the program and is not limited to units located in subsidized housing projects.

This service, like all of WDOMI’s services, is always free.
