There are many reasons for both renters and landlords to become involved in the Section 8 program.

For renters, Section 8 offers affordable rents and the chance to escape from impoverished neighborhoods and climb the economic ladder. Landlords will find the Section 8 program to be highly lucrative, as the program's government subsidies have remained stable in recent years and allow for flexible rental rates.
