Generally speaking, section 8 applications are not taken online. Some housing authorities may allow you to fill out certain forms online, and generally so that you may place your name on the waiting list. When your name comes up on the waiting list additional information will be collected, generally on paper, in order to further process your application. A section 8 applications is a federally regulated application and there are certain guidelines by which it must be administered by the local Housing Authority. The general procedure is that your name is placed on a waiting list first -- generally by stopping in the office or by calling a special telephone number during certain days of the week, hours of the day, or nth day of the month. HUD regulations state that everyone must be given an equal chance to have his name on the waiting list. Filling out an application online often denies this equal chance. So there is a uniform procedure by which this is done.

∙ 7y agoThe general rule is that you're never applying for the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) online-- HUD at this time doesn't allow this. However, many Housing Authorities accept PRE-Applications for the waiting list online. This is usually done on a lottery-based system by which you fill out a simple online form and if your name is among those picked then you are added to the waiting list. When your name comes up on the waiting list the Housing Authority will send you more forms to fill out and submit with your required information and documents. A personal interview is required, then a briefing either individually or in a group, wherein you are issued your voucher.

∙ 11y agoYou cannot apply for section 8 via the internet, per se. Many housing authorities do maintain their waiting lists online, and they will release, via the news media, instructions on when and how to add your name to the waiting list. Where your name comes up you will be given a packet of forms to fill out and return with certain information, to the Housing Authority in which your name is listed.
