HUD Section 8 and Federally-assisted public housing is excluded from the USDA Rural Development Voucher Program because these units are already federally subsidized.

Tenants with a USDA Rural Development voucher that apply for housing in a Rural Developmentfinanced property must choose between using the voucher or Rental Assistance (RA). If the tenant relinquishes the USDA Rural Development voucher in favor of RA, the tenant is not eligible to receive another USDA Rural Development voucher. 7.
