In short, yes, you can lose your voucher. Normally you are given 60 days from the date of issue to find a home. If you can't find a home you could ask for an extension for one month at a time, but for no more than two months. This makes it a total of 120 days to find a home.
If you weren't on Section 8 when you were evicted, yes. If you were on Section 8 (now known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program) and were evicted because of violation of lease or non-payment of rent, you could lose your voucher, something that your Housing Program Coordinator and his supervisor can decide on a case-by-case basis. Let's clarify that an eviction is not a simple note by the landlord asking you to move: it's a court proceeding petitioni9ng a judge or magistrate to force you to move out.
You can only lose your section 8 voucher if you violate the terms of your lease, the landlord files eviction proceedings against you, and wins a judgment against you for eviction.
In Massachusetts, losing a Section 8 voucher due to eviction for nonpayment can depend on specific circumstances. If the eviction is for nonpayment of rent and the tenant fails to pay their portion, it may lead to termination of the voucher. However, tenants may have the opportunity to appeal or address the situation, particularly if they can demonstrate hardship. It's crucial to consult with local housing authorities or legal assistance for guidance in these cases.
You will continue to be eligible for the voucher program if you continue to meet the criteria of the housing authority that issued the voucher. Your bedroom size for which you are eligible may change according to the family size. For example, if you had a wife and children, and they are now separated from you, you may still use the voucher, provided you meet income and other requirements, but may only be eligible for a one bedroom dwelling.
It is possible to lose your Section 8 voucher after a misdemeanor drug charge, as criminal activity can be grounds for termination of assistance.
