      What is a Section 8 Voucher for in Seattle, Washington?

      A Section 8 voucher is a rental assistance program in Seattle that allows the recipient to choose their own dwelling within the jurisdiction of the issuing housing authority. Under a project-based voucher in Seattle, a tenant gets assistance so long as they remain in the unit that the voucher was issued for. The voucher lasts for a specified unit and time. If the family chooses to leave the unit, the rental assistance does not carry over to the next unit. A family may still, however, be eligible for a tenant-based voucher. Determine your eligibility. Whether or not you qualify for Section 8 housing is based on multiple factors, including your family's income, the median income in your area, how much rent you are paying, your assets, and the composition of your family. Here's a general breakdown of the eligibility requirements: You are a US citizens or non-citizen who has eligible immigration status. You earn, as a family, less than 50% of the median income for the county or city in which you choose to live.In fact, most Section 8 recipients earn closer to 30% of the median income for the county or metro area in which they choose to live. That's because the PHA must provide 75% of its vouchers to families who earn less than 30% of the median income.

      You meet other criteria on assets and family composition. Document your income and housing costs. Have pay stubs from your employer verifying your salary, and either your mortgage information or something in writing from your property owner that confirms your current rent. You will need these documents to apply for vouchers. Know what kind of voucher you need. HUD provides assistance to both renters and homeowners. Apply for Section 8 if you rent the premises where you are living. Find and complete a Section 8 application if you would like financial assistance with paying a mortgage for a condominium, townhouse or home that you own. In some cases, Section 8 vouchers can be used to purchase a modest home and make mortgage payments.

      Apply for vouchers. Contact your local PHA to begin the application process. Find a list of PHAs here. Ask if it's possible to complete the forms online. Get assistance with completing the necessary paperwork if you are not fluent in English. Call your local public housing authority to find out their office hours so you can complete the paperwork in person. Find out whether someone will be available to translate or to help you complete the forms. Be prepared for a long wait. In many cases, people who apply for Section 8 are waitlisted. Your local PHA may have more applications than it can afford to approve vouchers for, and will therefore have a Section 8 waiting list for applicants. In some cases, there are as many as 100,000 applicants for only 10,000 spots. It can take upwards of 3 to 6 years in these areas to be enrolled in Section 8 while on the waiting list.

      PHAs develop local preferences for moving applications up or down the waiting list, and may give preference to families who are currently homeless or living in substandard housing, families who pay more than 50% of their income in rent, or families who are involuntarily displaced. Inquire at your local PHA office if you have any questions about how prioritizing is allotted or about becoming a Section 8 landlord. If the PHA in your area has more applicants than it can assist in the near future, it may temporarily close down.

      Although the closure is not permanent, it may be beneficial to look for Section 8 housing in another county or metropolitan area if this happens. Know your responsibilities if you do get accepted. If your local PHA does approve your application and provide you with a housing voucher, you will need to make sure that your current or intended living situation fits HUD health and safety requirements. If you are renting, you will be required to sign a year lease with a cooperating property owner, who will be obligated to both you and your local PHA to provide safe housing and reasonable rent.
