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).


Section 8 how can you get a tenant permantly kicked off of section 8?

Talk to the housing authority that issued the voucher. This is a pretty vicious thing to do, not that it isn't sometimes warranted.Is the person or family using drugs? What would be your reason for wanting to harass someone on the housing choice voucher? Might just want to live your life if you're not being bothered.


Can you apply for section 8 twice?

Yes, and many people do this for valid reasons. They may find it difficult to port their original voucher to the new jurisdiction, so it is not uncommon for voucher holders to have their names on the waiting list in other jurisdictions where they can jump to that jurisdiction and use its voucher as opposed to porting their original voucher. You might want to check with that Housing Authority to see if you can use your original voucher to port over to them: they may absorb the cost. If you do apply for the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP, formerly the Section 8 Program) anywhere, while you already are in another, you will need to give up the voucher of the old program first. I highly suggest you talk this over with your original Housing Authority as they can help you better through this means.


What if Section 8 housing is needed immediately?

Generally speaking, there is no such thing as emergency housing assistance through the voucher program. By federal law every housing authority must establish uniform criteria for qualifications to the program. It cannot allow bypassing of the waiting list, due to fairness of the program.


Is there an efficient way of performing a nationwide search to determine areas or cities that are currently accepting section 8 housing applications?

Good question: this is how I was able to find section 8 housing. The only way to find section 8 housing (called a Housing Choice Voucher Program) is to continue to search Housing Authorities' web sites and seek which ones have openings for their waiting lists. There is no such thing as a central housing authority, though there are many housing authorities that cover several areas within the jurisdiction, known as regional housing authorities. And unlike sex offender registries, there is no central or nationwide housing authority search to see which ones have openings for the waiting lists. Just keep on trying and I'm sure it will work. It worked for me!

Can you move your section 8 HUD from one location to another?

There is no such thing as moving your section 8 HUD. I presume you are talking about porting your voucher, which is absolutely possible. You would need to arrange with both housing authorities to make this possible.


How do I get in to the Section 8 voucher program?

There really is no such thing as turning your homes into section 8 housing. If you are a landlord and want to be able to accept vouchers from your tenants, you can easily qualify by making sure that the rent is reasonable (within fair market value including essential utilities) and that it needs housing quality standards, something you can be able to have an inspector or a case coordinator assist you with in terms of guidelines.

What is the difference between housing and section 8?

Subsidized housing is referred to as housing that is subsidized by several different programs, including, but not limited to, the section 8 program. There is no such thing as section 8 housing, per se. The section 8 program is comprised of a voucher program, by which its holder would look for an apartment or other rental home, and the landlord, a private owner, would agree to accept the voucher for its part of the rent payment, and charge the renter the difference. The other program that often is referred to section 8, but it really isn't, is public housing. Like section 8, is administered by the local housing authority in the area, which is why it is often mistaken for section 8. People also call it section 8 because it too is covered under the section 8 program that voucher programs covered under.Many apartments in the rural area and some urban areas are financed by government sponsored guaranteed loans with low interest to the owner of the property. In exchange, the owner agrees to assist low income renters by adjusting their rent according to their income. These apartments are called low income housing tax credit , or LIHTC apartments. They are subsidized under HUD and USDA.
