I really want to sell my home. Can I sell my home to the government for section 8 use?

Section 8 is not a program for homes owned by the government. It provides for rent or mortgage assistance for qualified applicants, and the waiting list is usually long for any given locality. Check for a local housing assistance program, which may be able to buy or find a qualified buyer for your house. If you can afford not to get the full amount for the house up front, you could hold a mortgage and accept monthly payments, perhaps with a Section 8 qualified person getting help to pay the mortgage.
