∙ 14y agoIn my county in Iowa a person must make less than $35,000 a year to qulify for section 8 housing assistance. This is the maximum and it is still not guarenteed that a person making less then this amount will recieve assistance. There is a waiting list for income based housing. People who recieve Section 8 housing are still expected to pay between 30 and 40 percent on their income on housing. Not all apartments accept section 8. Landlords have the right to refuse to accept section 8 housing vouchers. Even if a landlord approves the section 8 voucher, the apartment still needs to have an inspection to see if the apartment is safe to live in.
