The timeline for Section 8 housing assistance can vary based on factors like funding availability, the application process, and local housing authority guidelines. Applicants may wait anywhere from a few weeks to several years for assistance, depending on demand and resources. It's best to contact your local housing authority for more specific information on wait times in your area.
Check with your local housing authority there. They usually will have a list of properties available for rent from landlord to take section 8 vouchers. If you're looking for public housing, still you need to check with the local housing authority.
The time it takes to receive a Section 8 voucher after reaching the top of the list can vary significantly based on your local housing authority's processing times, funding availability, and demand for housing.

Florida, like every other state in the United States, has a multitude of Housing Authorities distributed throughout, and the section 8 program is administered by those Housing Authorities. Each Housing Authority has its own rules by which people apply for this program. Most likely there will be a waiting list fact, if open, will take about five years or more, for your name to come up on it before they will process your application further. So the answer to this question is uncertain
The process can take about a month or less. There are certain steps that you take during the application process. If your current landlord is willing to take section 8 vouchers then you're at an advantage: you won't have to move (unless your landlord's property doesn't meet housing quality standards). Usually after about a couple of weeks of you turning in your application and providing all the information that is necessary, you will get a reply with an appointment for an interview with a housing program coordinator/case manager. This person will interview you to ensure that you meet the qualifications. If he or she accepts you, then you will receive a date at which you will receive an orientation into the program and your voucher. When you receive your voucher you will either look for an apartment/home, or, if your present landlord is willing to accept the voucher, the property meets housing quality standards, and the household size is appropriate for the number bedrooms, then your landlord can take the voucher and turn it in and start receiving housing assistance payments. Your housing program coordinator will arrange to inspect the property before the voucher can be approved. This could take about a month, but more often than not, your housing program coordinator will work with your landlord and you as quickly as possible.
The transfer of Section 8 housing assistance to another state can vary in time, typically taking anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. The process involves coordinating with both the housing authority in your current location and the housing authority in the new state, as well as meeting any eligibility requirements in the new location. It's best to contact both housing authorities for specific information and guidance on the transfer process.
I presume you are asking about how to update your information while you are on the waiting list for a voucher. Whatever you do, you make sure you do this in writing, not by telephone. You can fax a letter, write a letter and mail it, or write a letter and take it personally to the Housing Authority of which you are on the list.
It can take anywhere from a few hours to several weeks to review and application, depending on where you applied.
Transferring a Section 8 voucher from one state to another can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on various factors such as the specific housing authority's policies, the availability of housing in the new location, and the required paperwork. Typically, the process involves getting approval from both the current and new housing authorities, which can add to the timeline. It's advisable to start the transfer process early and maintain communication with both agencies to facilitate a smoother transition.
Unfortunately there is no such thing as emergency section 8 housing. There may be shelter for the disabled, which can be administered by a local housing authority or by another agency which helps homeless and disabled people receive housing. But the section 8 program is based upon an eligibility criteria for which there is typically a long waiting list, that can take about five or more years for one's name to come up on it. To be fair, federal regulations prohibit the bypassing of the waiting list for emergency reasons (however, disabled and elderly people often have priority over everyone else on the waiting list).
