Families who earn at least 30 percent less than the median average for their location may qualify for a section eight government program. If you qualify for the program, you can choose housing that meets the requirements of the program. The Public Housing Agency administers the program in your area. This agency will pay the monthly rent amount to the landlord on behalf of the qualifying family.
When you are accepted into the program, you will be required to attend a section eight briefing. The briefing will give you more information about the program and you will receive your rental assistance voucher. The leasing term is usually for 12 consecutive months. You can also use your voucher where you are presently renting a home, if your current landlord is in the section eight program.
There are online public listings of rental homes that participate in the program. Research the online public listings in your area to find a new home. Check the neighborhood and schools to be sure the area is a safe place to live. Most landlords will require you to fill out a rental application. You may be required to pay a deposit by the landlord. The section eight program doesn't pay for rental deposits.
Once you have found a qualifying home to rent, you will need to submit a request for approval from the Public Housing Agency. You must follow the guidelines set forth by the agency that you learned about in the briefing. Failure to pay your portion of the rent, engaging in criminal activity and failure to report changes to your household can cause you to lose your rental voucher. The agency requires a 10 day written notice when there is a change in your income or household size.
You must pay any differences between the amount you are approved for, and the amount the landlord has set for the rental home. You can choose a home that is more expensive than the qualifying amount, as long as you are able to pay the difference. You can find a home for rent section 8 by searching online for rental home classified ads.
