Sec 8 Housing

Eligibility and Application Process

Eligibility for Section 8 is primarily based on income, family size, and citizenship status. Generally, a family's income must not exceed 50% of the median income for the county or metropolitan area. The application process involves submitting an application to your local PHA, which will place you on a waiting list due to high demand. It's crucial to follow the options and stay informed about application openings to increase your chances of receiving assistance³.
