Hi,
Section 8 housing or section 8 voucher program is a federal housing assistance program which is administered by Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Public Housing Agencies (PHAs).
The section 8 housing program assists people with disabilities, elders and low income families in paying for decent and safe housing.
Thanks

I have some more information about the Section 8 Voucher Program.
This program is used to give financial assistance in the private housing market through a subsidy which is based on a person's household income and the cost of housing.

Hi,
For the Section 8 Voucher program the household must apply to the Public Housing Agency and get on the waiting list.
After the Section 8 voucher is issued the household must identify housing that can be approved under section 8 rules.

Hi Guest,
The section 8 Voucher program is the largest Federal low-income housing assistance program awarded to low-income families. This program provides for a certain amount of the cost required to pay for rent and utilities. The family getting such assistance has to contribute 30% of its income for rent and utilities while the rest is paid by the housing agency providing the Section 8 Voucher.

Hi Yaya,
Welcome to Mortgagefit discussion board.
I don't think you can apply online for section 8 housing online. You can apply for assistance at your nearest Public Housing Agency (PHA) & get on the waiting list. You can search for your local PHA from here - PHA Contact Information. After the voucher is issued you will have to identify the housing which would get approval under the Section 8 rules. You can use this page to search for low rent apartments in your region.
If it meets the standards PHA will then pay your landlord an amount equal to what the difference comes to between 30% of your adjusted income or 10% of gross income & PHA determined payment standard set for your area.
Do let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks

Welcome Tamara,
You can contact your state Public Housing Authority (PHA) from http://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/pha/contacts/ and talk to them directly. You can also talk to the Office of Public Housing within your local HUD office. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial sucess
