The income requirements will vary based on where you live. Contact the local agency or agencies that administers the program. Usually there are additional requirements beyond just income. Examples are being disabled, homeless, spending more than 50% of income on housing. Those will vary also. There are usually long waiting lists for Section 8 vouchers, but you might be able to apply for the waiting list even if you do not meet the requirements at this time.
