About SDHC

The San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) is an award-winning public housing agency in the City of San Diego that provides innovative housing assistance programs for households with low income or experiencing homelessness. The San Diego City Council, in its role as the Housing Authority of the City of San Diego, oversees SDHC. SDHC helps pay rent for more than 17,000 households with low income annually;

is a leader in collaborative efforts to address homelessness, such as the Community Action Plan on Homelessness for the City of San Diego and SDHC’s homelessness initiative, HOUSING FIRST - SAN DIEGO, which has created more than 11,000 housing solutions since November 2014 for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness; and creates and preserves affordable rental housing, with more than 23,000 affordable units in service in the City today with SDHC’s participation.

The Rental Assistance Department (RAD) is the San Diego Housing Commission’s (SDHC) largest department. It administers the federally supported Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section
8) including special programs such as Project Based Voucher (PBV), Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH), Sponsor Based Subsidy (SBS), and others. RAD provides vital rental assistance to more than 15,000 low-income families across the City of San Diego. The department ensures that participating units meet federal Housing Quality Standards, monitors affordable housing developments for compliance, and supports families in achieving greater financial stability through collaborative programs offered by the SDHC Achievement Academy.

The Quality Assurance (QA) team’s main functions are to ensure the excellent quality of Rental Assistance program file submissions to the Housing & Urban Development (HUD). QA audits and submits the RAD biweekly and monthly check runs, which is the mechanism by which all rental assistance landlords receive Housing Assistance Payments. We oversee the division's file audit programs and ensure the integrity of the rental assistance programs, including program violation and fraud investigations and resolution.

QA conducts new staff training cohorts, maintains current and updated training materials and trains current staff on policy and procedural changes. QA leads and assists with division- and agency-wide projects including new HUD policy implementation. The QA team partners with other RAD teams, community organizations, and external agencies to deliver high-quality services, strengthen processes, and uphold accuracy in rental assistance administration.

Through these efforts, RAD advances the agency’s mission to provide safe, stable, and affordable housing opportunities for the community.
