Yes, and many people do this for valid reasons. They may find it difficult to port their original voucher to the new jurisdiction, so it is not uncommon for voucher holders to have their names on the waiting list in other jurisdictions where they can jump to that jurisdiction and use its voucher as opposed to porting their original voucher. You might want to check with that Housing Authority to see if you can use your original voucher to port over to them: they may absorb the cost.

If you do apply for the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP, formerly the Section 8 Program) anywhere, while you already are in another, you will need to give up the voucher of the old program first. I highly suggest you talk this over with your original Housing Authority as they can help you better through this means.

There is no such thing as applying for section 8 twice in the same housing authority. But, you can have your name added to as many waiting lists of as many jurisdictions as you want. But you can only hold one voucher at a time. So if your name comes up where you are already receiving a voucher, you can either port the voucher to the new housing authority, or let go of the first voucher and use the second one. In either case, you may not break the lease that you currently have your voucher with.
