Hey bigmamashare,

You will have to contact the housing authority of your county and find out if you and your family qualifies for Section 8 Program. Once you have applied and qualified, you will be placed on a list for a voucher.

Hi semy,

I did not understand what you wanted to say by:

Are you receiving any kind of benefit from the housing authority of Texas? If you could explain the situation, then it would be easier for me to answer your query. As far as applying for section 8 housing program is concerned, you will have to contact the housing authority of your area.

Take Care.

Hi Gloria,

The Section 8 cannot help you with your mortgage payments. It provides assistance to middle and low income families to help them rent a safe and decent home. It does not help you repay your existing mortgage. Are you not being able to afford the mortgage payments? You can then request your lender for a loan modification.

To Joe,

The section 8 housing assistance you are getting could be used to make your monthly mortgage payments. So, you can buy a home of your own. The income and employment requirements are less stringent for people like you. You can contact your local Public Housing Authority regarding this. However, you will be required to arrange your own financing for the purchase of the home. The section 8 assistance will help you make the monthly mortgage payments, it will not help you with the purchase of the home.

Your landlord will be the best person to let you know how your rents are figured. You should contact her and check out how and why your rents are increasing every month. She will be able to give you the details.

Hi Guest,

I guess you're speaking about Section 8 vouchers. If you want to extend the voucher, then you'll have to apply before the voucher expires. It'll depend upon the housing authority whether or not they would give you a one or two 30 days extension.

Thanks

Hi djsalada!

Welcome to forums!

You will have to contact your lender if you wish to receive any kind of help regarding your mortgage. If you're unable to pay the mortgage, you can apply for a loan modification with your lender. The lender will go through your financial situation and let you know whether or not you would get a mortgage modification.

Thanks,

Jerry
