Section 8 Housing Questions: How do I apply for Section 8 Housing?
After purchaseing your online packet, you can find housing authorities that are accepting applications for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program and for public housing in your state.
What's the difference between the Section 8 Consolidation Program and the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program? The Section 8 Consolidation Program is privately funded and is not affiliated with the government, HUD or your local housing authorities. The Section 8 Consolidation Program is not a rental assistance program, but does award small grants to low income families or individuals. These grants are intended to help with daily expenses like gas, food or a utility bill. The Section 8 Consolidation program also offers links to find all types housing in this online packet for everyone.
The Section 8 Consolidation program educates landlords about some of the advantages of renting to a low income family or individual via government subsidized housing programs, thus helping to bring tenants and landlords together.

I have a property I want to rent to section 8 tenants.
If you'd like to make your property available to Section 8 tenants, you will have to contact a housing authority in your area to come and inspect your property. In a nutshell, if everything's up to code, they will give you contracts to sign, your potential tenant receives a voucher for about 75% of the rent that you charge, and your tenant will pay the difference.
This site is not working for me. I want a refund.
