THIS IS A FREQUENTLY-ASKED QUESTION, AND THE ANSWER APPLIES TO ALL SUCH QUESTIONS:

There is NO specific answer to this question. When someone is on the waiting list for the Housing Choice Voucher Program (also known as Section 8), they are assigned a position, and continue to go up the list until their name gets to the top of the list. HOWEVER: many people will be surprised (and really pissed off!) to find that their name has been deleted from the list for no apparent reason. The most common reason is that they failed to communicate to the Housing Authority IN WRITING, that they have moved to a new address. Or they didn't respond to a form that the Housing Authority has sent the household to ensure they are still interested in the program.

Is there emergency section 8 housing for disabled?

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).
