S8LA · Los Angeles Rental Assistance Specialists
S8LA leases income-restricted rentals across all seven LA planning regions, accepting HACLA, LACDA, and Housing Choice Vouchers. No applications without our team.
How S8LA Works
Navigating Section 8 involves multiple agencies, inspections, and paperwork. Our team handles all of it — so you can focus on finding the right home, not the process.
Share your voucher type, bedroom size, and preferred area through the form below or by phone. Our team will match you with Section 8-approved units across Metro LA, South LA, West LA, East LA, the San Fernando Valley, and beyond.
Call or email our team at (213) 556-4777 or info@s8la.com. We'll confirm your voucher type, verify current availability, schedule your showing, and walk you through the application process. You won't be handed off to a call center.
Once you've been approved, we coordinate with HACLA, LACDA, or your issuing authority from RFTA submission through unit inspection and HAP contract execution. We've done this hundreds of times — we know how to get through it quickly.

For Property Owners
List your vacant unit with S8LA and let our team handle the entire Section 8 leasing process — from marketing to inspection to move-in.
Government Housing Assistance Payments deposited directly to your account every month, eliminating the most common risk of traditional rentals.
Every applicant is pre-screened for rental history and income documentation before we schedule a showing.
We prepare your unit for HACLA/LACDA inspection, schedule the appointment, and attend on your behalf to maximize first-visit pass rates.
Your listing is marketed directly to our network of housing navigators, caseworkers, and Section 8 outreach coordinators across LA County.
From listing creation to signed lease, our team manages every step so you receive a fully executed HAP contract and a placed tenant with minimal involvement on your end.
S8LA's fee is structured as a leasing commission, paid at move-in from the first month's rent — meaning you pay nothing until your unit is filled.
About S8LA
S8LA is a specialized leasing division of Metropolitan Group Inc., a Los Angeles real estate company with extensive experience placing tenants across the LA Basin. We were built around making leasing with rental assistance work better, for renters and for owners.
For renters, that means having one team that knows every step of the HACLA and LACDA process, can tell you immediately whether a unit is available, and will stay with your application from initial showing through inspection and signed lease. We maintain direct relationships with caseworkers, housing navigators, and local housing authority staff across LA County.
For owners, it means a leasing service that takes the complexity out of Section 8 — handling marketing, tenant screening, inspection prep, and HAP contract coordination so you receive a placed, vetted tenant with a government-backed rent guarantee and minimal back-and-forth on your end.
Every unit S8LA offers is one we personally represent. We do not advertise third-party units or post units we haven't verified. When you contact us about a unit, you're talking to the team responsible for it.
