Hi Fannie webster,

Welcome to the forum.

You can contact your local Public Housing Agency and talk to them directly at http://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/pha/contacts/index.cfm

Hope this helps.

To qualify for section 8 program you should be a low income individual. I feel you should contact Local Housing Authorities to get approved for the program. But the Section 8 program gas been oversubscribed and you may be in waiting list for years. To know about the waiting time in your area you can call housing authority in your area.

If you are a low income individual, elderly person or disabled person the Federal Housing Program will provide housing assistance to you.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi AMANDA CHILDS!

Welcome to MortgageFit Forums!

There are two requirements which you need to fulfill if you are trying to go for Section 8 waiting list in Virginia. The first one is that your house should qualify as a "family" and the second one is that you should meet the annual income guidelines. If you have fulfilled both of them, then you can contact HUD.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi charles rumsey!

The housing choice voucher program (Section8) is one of the federal government's important program for helping very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled so that they can afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market.

In the given link, you will find discussions by lenders in relation to section 8 voucher program:

Please have a look.

Thanks.

Hi tony,

Whether you are eligible for a housing voucher or not is determined by the PHA. It will depend on the total annual gross income and family size and is limited to US citizens. There are certain specified categories of non-citizens who have eligible immigration status can also qualify for this housing voucher.

The income of the family applying for this program should not exceed 50% of the median income for the county or metropolitan area where the family is presently living. According to the law, PHA must provide 75 percent of its voucher to applicants whose income is not above 30 percent of the median income of the area. The median income levels vary from one place to another. You will have to contact the PHA serving your community to know about the income limits for your area and family size.

When you are applying, the PHA will collect information on assets, family income and family composition. It will then cross check the information with your employer, banks as well as local agencies. Then it will use the information to determine program eligibility. It will decide on the amount of the housing assistance you will be getting. If you are eligible, then the PHA will put your name on a waiting list if it is not able to assist you immediately. Once your name is reached on the waiting list, the PHA will issue a housing voucher to you.

Thanks,

Jerry
