WHAT IS SECTION 8 HOUSING?





Written By:
DAN THE ROOMMATE MAN

HUD has housing programs for low-income families. Once accepted into the program the family or individual is free to choose any housing which meets the requirements of the program. Participants are not limited to subsidized housing projects. In general the participants are required to pay 1/3 of their gross income as their portion of the rent. The remaining rent is paid directly to the landlord by the Housing Authority on behalf of the tenant.

The major problem with Section 8 housing is that there are limited funds. The waiting list for a voucher or a certificate can be years in some states. Also some landlords do not feel comfortable renting to Section 8 participants because of government red tape. To make things worse Section 8 has received quite a bit of bad press involving renters who damaged rental property and/or did not take care of the property.

ABUSE OF SECTION 8

Unfortunately this program is frequently abused. This program is very much needed for families who cannot afford a place to live. The abuse comes in when families or individuals hide their assets and income from the agency in order to qualify for the program. The limited funds that HUD has then goes to people who are capable of paying for their own rent and many who are in desperate need remain on the agency waiting list. HUD is constantly policing this situation but there will always be those who will abuse the system at the expense of the innocent.
