I am on section 8 and will be moving and was wondering what area City of Fort Lauderdale Housing Authority covers compared to Broward County Housing Authority?

User Avatar

Asked by Newhomewanted

The City of Fort Lauderdale Housing Authority only covers public and affordable housing within the city limits of Fort Lauderdale. The Broward County Housing Authority covers a wider geographic area, including the entire county of Broward, which encompasses several cities, including Fort Lauderdale. So, if you are looking to move within Fort Lauderdale, you would need to work with the City of Fort Lauderdale Housing Authority. If you are considering moving to another city within Broward County, you would need to work with the Broward County Housing Authority.

Can you have savings and still qualify for section 8?

This question addresses the issues of how much a Housing Authority will pay for how many bedrooms in a particular jurisdiction. Public Housing Authorities, or PHA's set what is known as payment standards for each bedroom size of any dwelling, according to the Fair Market Rent (FMR) of that dwelling. First you'll have to determine the FMR. A good place to do that is at HUDUSER.ORG, which is a data site for the US Housing and Urban Development, or HUD. There you can look up the FMR in any area of the United States. PHA's set payment standards (PST) of between 90 and 110 percent of the FMR of that jurisdiction. If it's a well-known urban jurisdiction, expect the PST to be the lowest. If it's a rural jurisdiction expect the PST to be higher (closer to 100% or better). To get specific information about the payment standards for a specific Housing Authority, you can look that up in their website (almost every PHA has a website and publishes that information, usually under information for landlords).

Where can you find a list of requirements for section 8 housing in Maryland?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Every Housing Authority has its own list of qualifications for which a person can receive a voucher or public housing. You will need to check with the Housing Authority in that location for specific qualifications. Many of the qualifications fall under federal guidelines, while housing authorities are free to develop their own qualification criteria according to Housing Authority standards.

If you're asking this question as a landlord, the guidelines are the same across the board: the home must meet minimum housing quality standards for a decent, safe, and sanitary home. I'm not going to list those standards here but you can check with your local Housing Authority for specifics.

How do you know if you have been terminated from section 8?

Asked by Wiki User

Assuming you've submitted your paperwork and all needed documents, you will be added to a waiting list, ill warn you, the list can change, and even if youre 3rd in line, someone who has proven a emergency situation or pressing need, can bump you lower on the list.

things that help are...drs documentation of disability, smsll children, etc...those will all be considered for how swiftly you move to the head of the list, and hopefully, into much awaited housing.

You should have a caseworker, or local nmber to call, and you can ask them, where you currently stand on the list, and, you may continue to get updates as your number rises, or lowers on the list.

good luck!

How do I get in to the Section 8 voucher program?

Asked by Wiki User

There really is no such thing as turning your homes into section 8 housing. If you are a landlord and want to be able to accept vouchers from your tenants, you can easily qualify by making sure that the rent is reasonable (within fair market value including essential utilities) and that it needs housing quality standards, something you can be able to have an inspector or a case coordinator assist you with in terms of guidelines.
