How do you apply for section 8 housing assistance?

Answer 1

Applying for Section 8 Housing Assistance

• You should first go to your county's housing authority agency to find out about how you and your family may qualify for the Section 8 Program regulated under the federal government's HUD organization. There you can also find out where your local HA agency is located. So, to find out all the information you need about Section 8, go to http://www.hud.gov/faqs/faqrenting.cfm.
• To apply for public housing or Housing Choice (Section 8) vouchers, you will need to visit your local public housing authority.
• The housing authority may have long waiting lists, so you may want to apply at more than one public housing authority.

NOTE: There is no cost to apply for Section 8 and you should not provide your debit card or any other information to an online resource.
