Okay, there are two types of upgrades to an apartment that can be done for medical reasons or because of a disability: either an upgrade to a larger apartment with accessibility features for wheelchair users, or an upgrade to an apartment of one bedroom more than the tenant is qualified to receive.
In either case you must provide documentation from your doctor stating that you need a larger apartment or an apartment of a bedroom more than what you are qualified to receive.
In the case of the former, you can request, as a reasonable accommodation for your disability, that the payment standards for your dwelling be increased for the type of home you need.
In the case of the latter, your doctor must certify that you need a home health aide to live in with you in order to maintain your independence. The home health aide that you higher must not be working any other job then to provide you with caregiving services. There are also other strict requirements regarding this situation. So check with your local Housing Authority about this.
What else can I help you with?
Can you apply for section 8 twice?
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.

Well I did as they asked and I am still waiting to go to that meeting so I can recieve the voucher. This is the middle of june, so it been almost 4 months and counting.
