Each housing authority has its own rules by which it administers the Housing Choice Voucher Program, formerly known as Section 8. You must check with the housing authority in that jurisdiction for more information. But the general rule is that anyone who is making less than 75% of the average median income in the area in question can qualify for the voucher. Of course there are specific requirements as well as certain disqualifiers, such as certain felony records.
