About 1 year ago You can go on HAR.com and filter through Section 8 homes, best of luck! Pauline Clement About 1 year ago Section 8 housing is available. There are options. First, you could do your research and locate an agent that would be willing to assist you with your property search. Second, you could search HAR on your own and choose Section 8 as your search criteria. Third, the office where you got your Section 8 packet may have a current list of landlords that accept Section 8. Fourth, there are several online rental sites such as www.gosection8.com and others. I hope this helps. Jenna Horton About 1 year ago There are also websites and log ins specifically for section 8 housing that are provided to the families that are currently enrolled and using the program. I would recommend searching on those sites as well because they may have information in regards to other families that are already planning a move already, but the home is not listed in MLS. It is a process for section 8 housing families to move, therefore they are normally planned out more in advance than other renters. I hope this helps. Nikiea Jacquet About 1 year ago There are houses on the MLS that accept section 8 vouchers. The potential renter can use the filter for section 8 housing to locate rentals that fit in that criteria. There are landlords willing to work with vouchers who are not listed but when asked will consider the voucher for the right candidate. Find an agent who is willing to go beyond the filter options and contact listing agents, sometimes assisting in educating them on vouchers so that you enlarge the choice of inventory for those who are using vouchers.

Found nationwide, public housing comes in all sizes and types, from single-family houses to high-rise apartments. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers the program. Since the demand for public housing is often larger than the amount of housing available to HUD and the local PHA, long waiting periods are common. A PHA may close its waiting list when there are more families on the list than can be assisted in the near future.

PHAs use income limits developed by HUD. The lower income limit is 80% and the very low income limit is 50% of the median income for the county or metropolitan area where you want to live.
