Answer 2

Basically, you should not have to pay any kind of money to apply for any section 8 program: this is a federal entitlement program to those who qualify for such. That being said, to get a section 8 application from any housing authority, there are steps that must be followed, which normally begin with adding your name to a waiting list. This depends on whether a waiting list opening occurs, something that is advertised in the local newspaper, or that you have to call the housing authority to check on. This waiting list may take several years for your name to come up, whereupon you will follow more instructions. While your name is on the waiting list, the Housing Authority will periodically send you a form that you must fill out and return to them if you are still interested in participating in the program. Meanwhile any time you move or otherwise change actresses, you must write to them to update them of your new address. Failure to do this will kick you off the list.

Answer 3

In some cases you can apply for Section 8 assistance through the rental office once you locate the place that you want to live. The Department of Housing and Urban Development in your county will also have information regarding Section 8.

Answer 4

The local HUD office should have a list. Otherwise, ask the landlord if he will accept a Section 8 voucher. You will have to be approved first.

Answer 5

Check with your local housing authority and see what their qualifications are. There may be a waiting list and if there is, it may or may not be open.
