Section 8 Housing Opening---First time in 6 Years!!!



ATTENTION ALL VOLUNTEERS:
This is a very important announcement/opportunity for any of the low income refugee families you work with.

Section 8 Opening:

Home Forward (formerly known as the Housing Authority) is pleased to announce that they are accepting waiting list applications for their Section 8 rent assistance program from November 1 through November 10, 2012. The application is very simple and can be filled out online, using any internet connected computer.

What is the Section 8 Rent Assistance Program?

The Section 8 program helps low-income residents afford rental homes and apartments at normal market rates. The Section 8 program currently provides rent assistance so that individuals and families pay only a portion of their income (usually one-third) for rent. The highly popular program has a waiting list that is only able to open up every few years. Applicants are then selected from the waiting list using a lottery system.   If selected, an individual or family can use their Section 8 voucher wherever a landlord will accept it.
