Yes. Payton's Place considers all applications regardless of the voucher program. We ask that prospective tenants do their research and make sure that your housing program will cover the rental price.  Below are links that show you the price limits of the voucher programs in DC and MD based on the neighborhood or zip code. If our current rental price exceeds the price limit, the home would be ineligible for the voucher program.
