How do families receive Section 8 Rental Assistance?

Due to the limited amount of Federal funding, the availability of Section 8 assistance nationwide is severely limited. Families who apply to receive Section 8 rental assistance must typically wait from 6 months to 10+ years to receive this benefit. The Section 8 Program is not an entitlement program. This means that not every family whose income makes them eligible for Section 8 automatically receives assistance. Consequently, the family must apply and wait to receive Section 8 assistance.

Section 8 (also known as Housing Choice Vouchers) is a HUD program, which provides rental payment assistance to qualifying tenants. Section 8 pays rent, which exceeds 30-40% of a tenant's adjusted monthly income. For example, if your landlord charges $500 per month for rent and you make $1,000 per month, you would pay $300 (30% of your monthly income) and Section 8 would pay $200 (the difference between what you can afford and what your landlord charges).
