Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Section 8 Waiting List?
A Section 8 waiting list is a list that local housing authorities use to decide which families get housing vouchers. Some lists choose people by lottery, and some use a first-come, first-served system.
Getting on your local list is the first step in getting help.
How long does it take to get a voucher?
The wait time varies. In some areas, you might get help quickly. In places with more people waiting, it can take months or even longer.
Housing authorities may remove names to keep their lists up to date, so check on your status regularly and make sure your contact information and household details are up to date.
What happens when my name comes up?
Before you get a voucher, the housing authority will check if you still qualify, which includes looking at your income and household size.
After approval, you can start searching for a home that accepts Section 8 vouchers.
