The process to apply for Section 8 in Louisiana is the same as it is in every state. An applicant must first find out if they are considered to be of a low income status mandated by HUD. Income levels may vary from state to state. Then the applicant has to find an open Section 8 waiting list in order to fill out a Section 8 application for rental assistance. Typically, a Section 8 waiting list can be very long, particularly for large cities.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, is the Federal agency that oversees the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. HUD also funds this program as well as other subsidized housing and rental assistance programs like Public Housing. Most people that need help with their rent refer to the Section 8 rental assistance program first. Housing authorities have to close their Section 8 waiting list closed when a voucher quota has been reached. Sometimes there simply isn't enough funding to accommodate all of the people in the community that are in need of this type of assistance. When there is more funding provided by HUD, the housing authority can reopen their waiting list and begin accepting Section 8 applications again. It is always free to apply for any government subsidized housing program.
