Families or individuals with low incomes can still find safe and comfortable housing through the help of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The section 8 program is essentially government assistance for rent. People who qualify for the section 8 program can select to live in privately owned housing such as apartments, homes, and town houses. On behalf of the low income families, the government pays a large portion of the monthly rent directly to the property owner.
In every state, there is a local Public Housing Agency that handles all matters related to section 8 housing. Anyone who is interested in affordable housing should contact the agency and apply.
