The transfer of Section 8 housing assistance to another state can vary in time, typically taking anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. The process involves coordinating with both the housing authority in your current location and the housing authority in the new state, as well as meeting any eligibility requirements in the new location. It's best to contact both housing authorities for specific information and guidance on the transfer process.
Typically, you need to live in a Section 8 housing program for at least one year before you can transfer it to another state. However, the specific requirements may vary depending on the housing authority policies in both states. It is recommended to contact the local housing authority for more information on transferring your Section 8 voucher.

Transferring a Section 8 voucher from one state to another can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on various factors such as the specific housing authority's policies, the availability of housing in the new location, and the required paperwork.

I would ask the Section 8 program if you can transfer your section 8 voucher to your new city and find a section 8 apartment there, and stay in that apt 'til you graduate. Otherwise, just ask your local Section 8 program since every locality handles it differently.
