You must apply for subsidized housing, which includes Section 8, by completing an application with the housing authority in your city/county/state to see if you qualify. Once eligibility is determined, a voucher is issued for the amount of the subsidy. For example, a landlord might offer a $500 apartment for which you could present a $450 voucher and then need to pay the additional $50. Section 8 housing is offered by property owners who have contracts with the housing authority.
The Section 8 program is designed to provide vouchers which help with rent to people who meet the specified income eligibility requirements. It is overseen by HUD and administered by individual states. The vouchers can be used at participating owner units. The State of New York is currently not accepting new applications.
