Section 8 Voucher

A Section 8 Voucher is a government program that helps low-income families afford decent, safe housing. Instead of paying full rent, tenants receive a voucher that subsidizes their rent payments. The program is managed by local housing authorities, who determine eligibility and allocate vouchers. Participants typically find their own housing, and the government covers a portion of the rent directly to the landlord. This system allows families to access a wider range of housing options and provides financial assistance, promoting stability and affordability in their living arrangements.
