Report a change in family or income

If you have a Housing Choice Voucher, you must report a change in the number of family members or a change in income to KCHA within 30 days.

Overview of changes for voucher holders

Family changes: If a family member moves out of your home, you must report the change to KCHA within 30 days. If you want to add a family member to your lease, you must notify KCHA. You may not add a family member to your lease until KCHA receives the required paperwork. Both KCHA and your landlord must approve the request.

Income changes: If your income goes up or down, you must report the change to KCHA within 30 days. You may also report increased childcare costs. Learn more about how this process works.
