No, you do not have to be a resident of such given state. However, if you accept the voucher in that state or in that regional or local housing authority, you have to lease up for at least one year in that jurisdiction before being eligible to port the voucher.

Not necessarily: if you are disabled or elderly and on Social Security, you can receive a voucher if you meet all of the qualifications. If you are not disabled and are unemployed you still might be able to qualify but have to pay the minimum rent that each Housing Authority has set (about $50).
