What is a section 8 landlord?
There is no such thing as a Section 8 Landlord. There are either public housing developments and apartments, or there are landlords who are willing to participate in the Housing Choice Voucher Program (I.e., accept section 8 vouchers).

What are some states that accept the section 8 housing certificate?
All states of the United States accept section 8 vouchers. The section 8 program is a federal program that is handled by the local housing authorities. But the voucher is only good at the jurisdiction that issued the voucher or where the voucher was ported to. To use your voucher at another jurisdiction you must arrange with the issuing housing authority to port over to the receiving housing authority.
Section 8 housing when already have housing?
Either you are talking about getting a voucher while you are already renting, or you are talking about getting a voucher while you are on public housing. In the case of the former, if you are already renting a home, and you want your landlord to be able to accept that voucher, yes, that is possible. If the house is suitable for your particular household, and the property meets housing quality standards, then you can use your voucher for your landlord to receive housing assistance payments on your behalf. In the case of the latter, this means that you could find a home that is privately owned by a landlord who is willing to accept that voucher for housing assistance payments on your behalf, and move out of the public housing unit.

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.
Can you accept a section 8 voucher in one state while waiting for one in another?
Surprisingly, yes you can! You can be on as many waiting lists you want to be for a Housing Choice Voucher, formerly known as the section 8 voucher. You can wait for in one state while you are holding a voucher in another. This is generally a strategic move because although you have the ability to port a voucher to another state, the Housing Authority that issued your voucher can claim it cannot afford to port you to the other state. This often happens when you want to move from a rural state -- where there is often no transportation system, medical centers, or other convenient facilities -- to a jurisdiction that does have these conveniences but are often more expensive than the rural area from which you want to move. To port a voucher, the receiving Housing Authority must agree to absorb the costs of such porting or the issuing Housing Authority must agree to be billed by the receiving Housing Authority. So waiting for another voucher might be a good choice in your case. However, you probably already are aware that you can only hold one voucher at a time, so when the other Housing Authority issues your voucher, you will have to let go of the original voucher. Make sure that you make this transition as smooth as possible (in other words, do not burn the bridges behind the original Housing Authority). You may want to check with the Housing Authority that has you on their waiting list to see if they will absorb the cost of porting, or check with your issuing Housing Authority to see if they are willing to be billed, so that you may not have to wait on the waiting list anymore.

What is the difference between section 8 housing and a tax credit project?
Okay, section 8 is a program, not a type of housing. It is actually bifurcated into two separate programs: public housing, and a voucher program. Public housing units are apartments or houses that are owned by a public Housing Authority or similar agency. Like the voucher program, your rent is adjusted according to your income. Under the voucher program, the rental unit is owned by a private individual or company, a landlord. That landlord will accept your voucher as part of your rent, of which you must pay the difference. The voucher is a guarantee by the federal government that it, through the housing authority mentioned, will pay its portion of your rent on your behalf.A tax credit project is a privately owned apartment complex that was financed through federal guaranteed mortgage loans from the USDA. In exchange for these low interest loans, the property owner must furnish apartments for those who are on low income, either through some programs of the USDA, the section 8 voucher program, or any other program administered by the property owner. In addition to the low-interest loans, the owner will also be entitled to tax credits on the property.
How does a rental property become approved for the Section 8 Voucher Program?
It must meet housing quality standards (HQS), and the rent must be of fair market rent (FMR) value. The Landlord must agree to accept vouchers and abide by its terms of agreement.
