Anywhere from 1 to 5 years. you can call the place where you filled out for a voucher to find out what number you are on the list, but if the money has not come in, no one will get their voucher.
1-5 years
2-3 weeks, but sometimes longer.
not sure but what I can tell you is that I got a letter in march of 2013 that said I was on top and I needed to take additional information in and then I will be called in to recieve my voucher once they ran the info. Well I did as they asked and I am still waiting to go to that meeting so I can recieve the voucher. This is the middle of june, so it been almost 4 months and counting. I was actually on section 8 before and it never took more than 2 months to recieve my voucher.
Section 8 is a federally created and supported program that is operated by individual state Public Housing Agencies (PHA), sometimes listed at "Housing Authority." Once you have applied and have qualified, you will be placed on a list for a voucher. It may take months or years to obtain a voucher, depending on your area. You can apply to several housing authorities though.
I presume you are asking about how to update your information while you are on the waiting list for a voucher. Whatever you do, you make sure you do this in writing, not by telephone. You can fax a letter, write a letter and mail it, or write a letter and take it personally to the Housing Authority of which you are on the list.
You need to get on the waiting list. It might take a few years to actually get the section 8 voucher but it's worth it. You can call the Muleshoe Housing Authority at (806) 272-5560.
Report this to the administering Housing Authority.
It depends...I you already live in the same county that issues the voucher you can take the voucher anywhere in the U.S, however I you currently live outside of that county you must have a rental in the issuing county for at least 12 months before you can move elsewhere.
Many apartments do take Section 8, especially in the New York area. It usually says in the newspaper ad if they take the section 8 voucher or not.
No, it will not, in most cases. The only exception would be if the voucher holder is disabled and must live with relatives who can take care of them.
Right now I can't see how you can apply for Section 8 online anywhere. This is because most Housing Authorities that administer the Section 8 Program, now known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program, or HCVP, have waiting lists, and procedures under which you must have your name put on the waiting list. If you're lucky to get on a waiting list, your name could take about five years to come up on the list. And be careful: if you move anywhere while you're on the waiting list, be sure to write to the Housing Authority and update them on where you live, because if you're on the list and they try but fail to contact you they will take you off the list immediately! Now, once your name comes up on the list they will send you more paperwork to process your application for a voucher. Send them everything they want, and don't forget to sign and date any and all documents, or they will return it to you and that may delay your process. It would be inconceivable that there would be an online method of applying for HCVP since the application process, by federal regulations, must be fair and equal to those applying.
