The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program is a HUD funded rental assistance program that encompasses all of the United States. The procedure to apply for Section 8
in Hawaii is the same as it is in any other state. In order to qualify for Section 8, one must be of low income. HUD has a median low income level that is unique for every state. The U. S. has different economic regions. For example, the cost of living is much higher in New York than it is in Missouri.

When someone says that they want to apply for HUD, they are really talking about the Section 8 rental assistance program. The tenant will pay about 30% of their monthly income for rent. Section 8 will pay for (subsidize) the rest.
Landlords must have their property inspected by a division of the Section 8 office in
order to rent to a Section 8 tenant and accept the Section 8 housing voucher. The landlord will prepare their own lease, but it will be no less than for one year.
By urging section 8 landlords nationwide to participate in government rental assistance programs, and educating them about subsidized housing, the gap between a low income tenant and an independent landlord is being reduced.
You can apply for Section 8 by completing a Section 8 application when those applications are being accepted by your local Housing Authority.
A person interested enough to become a Section 8 landlord can also benefit from our Online Packet.
