The City of Phoenix, in collaboration with Arizona Quadel, is set to hold its biannual Owner Open House aimed at informing property owners about the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program and addressing landlord inquiries on its operation.

Event Details

The open house will take place on October 28, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Memorial Hall, located at Steele Indian School Park, 300 E. Indian School Rd., Phoenix, AZ 85012.

Breakout Sessions

Two breakout sessions will be held starting at 11:30 a.m. at the adjacent Phoenix Indian School Visitor Center. These sessions will cover:

  • Landlord Education: The City of Phoenix Human Services Department will present information about the Landlord and Tenant Program, which offers educational resources and insights into landlord and tenant rights as outlined in the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act.
  • Section 8 Program Updates: Attendees can learn about upcoming changes to the Housing Choice Voucher program set for 2027.

Staff from the Housing Department, Quadel, and other city departments will be available to provide information and support during the event.

Insights from City Officials

Elenia Sotelo, Deputy Housing Director, emphasized the significance of the event.

Benefits for Landlords

The HCV program offers several advantages for property owners, including:

  • Reliable Payments: Landlords receive monthly subsidies from the city.
  • Tenant Stability: Voucher participants typically are reliable renters, which can help decrease turnover.
  • Personalized Support: Landlords have access to a liaison and housing specialists for ongoing guidance throughout the process.

Light refreshments will be provided at the event. Property owners interested in attending are encouraged to RSVP to the provided email address.
