The section 8 program derived from a federal law which was added in 1935 as a result of the Great Depression. It is actually considered section 8 of title 24, article 982 of the Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, a federal agency which was created as a result of this law. Obviously the law was created by Congress.

For example, you must be a US citizen or legal resident of the United States; must not have any violent felony records; must not be a registered sex offender; must not be convicted of public assistance fraud or any other crime which involved the section 8 program; and you must not have been evicted from a public housing unit or from any other unit you rented under the voucher program. You must also not have a substance abuse, including alcohol abuse, problem unless you can demonstrate that you have been to or are receiving substance abuse treatment.
