Section 8 Housing Vouchers
Apply for clean, safe, and affordable housing.
Apply for clean, safe, and affordable housing.
Safe and sanitary housing is a basic human need that should be accessible to everyone. But with today's astoundingly high rent prices, decent housing has become a luxury that not everyone can afford.
To tackle this issue, the federal government offers a housing choice voucher program that assists low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford safe and sanitary housing in the private market.
Through the voucher program, families have the freedom to choose their own housing, whether it's a single-family home, townhouse, or apartment, and their local public housing agency will subsidize their rent. In some cases, they may even qualify to use the voucher to purchase a home.

Unfortunately, there's no easy, universal application process for Section 8 housing vouchers.
Each local public housing agency (PHAs) has their own unique process, making it difficult to know how to apply. It can be a challenge to know where to start or to even confirm whether you're eligible for a voucher or not. What's even worse is that you could spend hours researching the process, just to discover that your PHA's waitlist is completely full and they aren't taking any new applicants.
