Section 8 Housing

Check with the local housing authority there.

I have been trying to get an application for Section 8 but i have told that the list is closed. And i would like to know is that actually true or not.

Absolutely! This is known as porting your voucher for one jurisdiction to the other, and can be done nationwide. However, keep in mind that the initial Housing Authority - the one that issued the voucher - may not allow you to port if it cannot afford the costs of maintaining and administering your voucher, because unless the receiving Housing Authority is willing to absorb the costs, the initial Housing Authority will be billed.

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.

The general rule is that houseguests are not allowed to stay in the home for more than 14 consecutive days. It should also be noted that the rules apply by the landlord will be the same as by Housing Authority: you are responsible for your houseguests' behavior and conduct while he is staying with you.

Yes, you can be married. But this changes the entire dynamics of the voucher program. The income of your spouse will be added to the figures for your household, and the new figures will be used to determine how much rent you pay. If you get married but didn't have any children yet, your number of bedrooms is still going to be one.

You have violated the terms of your lease and you will be evicted. If the person living in the unit was the person being abused, they will be allowed to stay in the unit and receive protection under the violence against women act.

You can still apply for section 8. Don't forget that if you live in a different state than the one from which you are applying for a voucher, you will have to live for at least one year in the jurisdiction that issued the voucher. Most housing authorities have a minimum amount of rent each tenant is required to pay, regardless of income or lack thereof. That amount is usually about $50 per month.

The amount of your voucher for a 3-bedroom unit typically depends on various factors, including location, local housing authority guidelines, and the specific program you are applying for. Generally, it is calculated based on the fair market rent for a 3-bedroom in your area. To get an accurate figure, you should contact your local housing authority or check their website for the most up-to-date information regarding voucher amounts.

The word chamber literally translates to the word room. A chamber can range from a certain room - usually one with the front and rear door, to an office, an anteroom, or a bedroom. The term chamber in official terms could range from the judge's chamber - his office, to the Chamber of Commerce, a business which provides information on the area such chamber covers, which mostly are businesses that are members of such Chamber of Commerce.

This means how far on the waiting list your name has come. Factors such as families no longer eligible for or participating in the program affect your position on the waiting list. Other people on the waiting list who the Housing Authority has been trying to contact, who do not respond to the periodic form that they send out, can be eliminated from the list, causing your name to escalate on the list.

Your local housing authority will have a list, as well as some real estate agents. Online, check out the HUD site.

In short, yes, you can lose your voucher. Normally you are given 60 days from the date of issue to find a home. If you can't find a home you could ask for an extension for one month at a time, but for no more than two months. This makes it a total of 120 days to find a home.

Okay, section 8 is a program, not a type of housing. It is actually bifurcated into two separate programs: public housing, and a voucher program. Public housing units are apartments or houses that are owned by a public Housing Authority or similar agency. Like the voucher program, your rent is adjusted according to your income. Under the voucher program, the rental unit is owned by a private individual or company, a landlord. That landlord will accept your voucher as part of your rent, of which you must pay the difference. The voucher is a guarantee by the federal government that it, through the housing authority mentioned, will pay its portion of your rent on your behalf.

A tax credit project is a privately owned apartment complex that was financed through federal guaranteed mortgage loans from the USDA. In exchange for these low interest loans, the property owner must furnish apartments for those who are on low income, either through some programs of the USDA, the section 8 voucher program, or any other program administered by the property owner. In addition to the low-interest loans, the owner will also be entitled to tax credits on the property.

You've got the wrong category here. But to answer your question, a Chamber of Commerce is an agency that represents businesses in a particular area covered by that agency. It will provide you information about most businesses, such as Better Business Bureau ratings, their address and phone number, and other pertinent information. Chambers of commerce often also provide you with visitor or new resident information about that particular area it covers. Most Chambers of commerce are for a city or a regional area within the county or multicounty region.

No you do not have to. What section 8 program are you in? multifamily, section 8 housing choice vouchers, certificate???

No. California does not have a statewide system that can show you which county is accepting applications. Each jurisdiction within California, as with most other states, has its own housing authority which maintains its own waiting lists.

If the emancipation is obtained by the minor on their own rather than a mandated order of the court then the answer is no, they are not eligible. A minor who petitions and receives an emancipation decree must be capable of living on their own without adult involvement, which includes any public assistance. If an emancipated minor finds themselves in a position where they cannot subsist by their own means, the court will revoke the emancipation decree and the minor will be remanded to the custody of juvenile authorities.

you have to check in every 6-12 months to keep your name on the list

There is no online application. You will have to find a local HUD office to do this. There may be a long waiting list.

You can contact your local Social Services Office for the phone #. OR you can get onto your County website and navigate around. There should be a "Housing Authority" Be prepared to fill out your application and be placed on a long waiting list (depending on where you live).

Each Housing Authority had its own rules by which someone applies for section 8, whether it's the voucher program or public housing. But since the section 8 program is a federal program, the rules are basically the same in New York as in every other jurisdiction.

It all depends on what type of felony that person is convicted of. If the person must register in his state as a sex offender, the felony is of violent or drug nature, or the felony involves public assistance fraud, then by federal regulations the Housing Authority cannot accept this person into the voucher program. And the Housing Authority may have its own rules of whom they may exclude as convicted felons from their programs. Most often than not they include felonies of any kind of less than 5-7 years from the date of release from incarceration or supervision, whichever later occurred.
