Section 8 Housing

Yes...although it depends on the specific rules of the housing agency involved. Some places ban you if you have a criminal record involving drugs or violence, while others don't. If you just have minor crimes, then you should be fine.

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.

You don't apply for section 8 online. You have to directly contact the section 8 facility where you wish to live and apply through them IF and only if they have an open space. Most have waiting lists so long that you will probably have to wait 5 years to get in.

Go to http://portal.hud.gov/portal/page/portal/HUD/states and click on your state for more information.

In order to do this, you must first complete a series of gruelling challenges. You will be tested to the extreme.

You must eat a human body, riddled with disease.

Then, and only then, will you be eligible to check if you remain upon the section 8 waiting list.

You could face an IRS audit...which will ruin your day to say the least.

Every jurisdiction in the United States has some form of a Section 8 program.

Breaking your lease is something that is between you and your landlord, not housing authority. But you must keep in mind:

1. If you break your lease and your landlord takes you to court, and he wins, you will lose your voucher permanently. However, the court may allow you to break your lease based on extenuating circumstances.

2. During the first year of your program you must lease up with your landlord. But once again, under extenuating circumstances, you and your landlord could agree to break up the lease under mutual agreement, wherein you won't lose your voucher.

3. Finally, if you give up your dwelling you give up your voucher. While in this case you might not lose your voucher permanently, when you terminate your tenancy you terminate the voucher for the time being. Once your extenuating circumstances have been resolved you will have to go back on the waiting list if and when it's open, then start the process all over again.

Your porting costs are either ABSORBED by the receiving Housing Authority, or BILLED to the initial Housing Authority.

Medicaid and the housing choice voucher program are two totally different programs. Leaving one program does not disqualify you from another. If you are on Medicaid because of the fact that you are on Social Security (SSI), then your Medicaid could be terminated if you make enough money that you no longer qualify for Medicaid.

No. Your local Housing Authority, under the Voucher Program, is paying benefits to your Landlord known as Housing Assistance Payments, or HAP, which does not go to you.

In some states it is considered a source of income ONLY for the purposes of your rent. Many landlords have requirements that your income is at least three times the amount of rent. Since the Voucher guarantees that some or most of your rent will be paid by the Government, the landlord must consider that part your income for these purposes.

However, in cases where you must list your rent as part of your expenses, you must list how much you actually pay in rent, not the actual rent, if you are receiving assistance via your Voucher.

The best thing you can do is call and find out. They may or may not have online capabilities for this.

Not necessarily: it depends on what type of felony, especially violent ones and sex offenders.

That depends on why you were denied. If the reason you were denied was remedied then you can reapply.

I am sure there is a housing authority in your area. Check with the city or county.
