You need to check with either the City of Orlando or the Orange County, FL, Housing Authority for this specific answer. The amount of Housing Assistance Payment for this type of dwelling depends on several factors including family size, income, and the test of reasonableness of rent according to the fair market rent (FMR) in the Orlando area.

No, you do not have to be a resident of such given state. However, if you accept the voucher in that state or in that regional or local housing authority, you have to lease up for at least one year in that jurisdiction before being eligible to port the voucher.

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.
