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

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

Voucher-holder screening

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.

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 after we understand your building. 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 detailed monthly reports and owner draws by direct deposit, and full compliance with the SF Rent Ordinance and AB 1482.
How do owner draws and reporting work?
Rent is collected online and your owner draw is sent by direct deposit each month, together with a detailed report on income, expenses, and what is happening at the building. Year-end 1099s and every statement live in your online owner portal.
What areas do you serve?
San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Marin counties — including Burlingame, San Mateo, Redwood City, Menlo Park, Atherton, Palo Alto, Los Altos, San Rafael, and Mill Valley.
How do I get started?
