Am I eligible for Section 8?
Updated over a year ago


Eligibility criteria include being at least 18 years old and a United States citizen or a noncitizen with eligible immigration status. Both single individuals and families, with or without children, may apply. The waiting list you apply to will have posted income limits, usually available on the website.

Once selected, the housing authority will assess your qualifications. Keep in mind that waiting lists can be lengthy, so remember to periodically update your application to avoid removal from the list.
