Can someone explain how section 8 works and how to go about getting on a waiting list . I didn’t know there were…

@isabellesmomma212, thank you so much !

You have to wait until the list is open, if it's closed, and apply. Even then you may not be added (varies by state). I know in my state, Minnesota, they do a random lottery. Then you have to wait for your name to come up and a voucher to become available before finding a place. Some states may have assisted housing a part of, but separate from, section 8 that stays to the specified apartment.

Here in Michigan you just have to go into your local office and fill out the paperwork. Once you are approved, you can find a house or a apartment that takes S8 and then just wait for them to approve you to move in. I used it before and it was so easy.

Maybe google it for your state?
