Service Animal
Conway Housing Authority abides by all ADA standards regarding service animals and emotional support animals. All landlords working with us on the HCV program are required to support the tenants needs regarding their service animal. If you have a service animal: Any vet visits, medication, food, or other care costs you pay for the animal can be considered a medical deduction. (see below)
Medical Deductions
For individuals with medical costs not covered by insurance, the Housing Choice Voucher program is able to deduct a portion of your medical expenses from your yearly income, which will lower the amount that you pay towards your rent.
What counts as a medical deduction:
- Any supplemental insurance you pay
- Any out-of-pocket prescription costs
- If you have at-home medical equipment:
- Any amount that you pay towards running it
- If the equipment requires specific additional items, the costs of them
- Mileage to and from doctor's appointments
For all of the above information, please keep diligent records of each cost as well as the receipts and statements of those. During annual recertification, please give us all of these papers to process. It is important to give us your information no later than a month before your yearly recertification so that we may verify all of your information.
