Does anyone know of any open waiting list for Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, any state, any city?

Please go to http://www.affordablehousingonline.com/section8housing.asp This site will list the Housing Authority's for the area you are looking to locate to. Start with your zip code and then move on to your state. You may check each states list as well but there are many many Housing Authority's throughout the country.

Each Housing Authority is different and they all accept applications at different times so just because the one closest to you may not be accepting applications does not mean the next one over is not. I am sorry to say though, that most Housing Authority's when accepting applications have an average estimated wait of 6 months to 7 years. But many Housing Authority's now have an initial lottery that issues a certain amount of vouchers right away and the remaining applicants are placed on a waiting list so if you're lucky you could be assisted right away.

Contrary to what many have posted you are allowed to apply with Housing Authority's that are not in your area but these Housing Authority's will most likely give a preference to residents of their jurisdiction which would cause you to move slower on the list. They would also require that you move to their jurisdiction for the first year that you are assisted under the Section 8 program. After the first year you would be able to use the Portability option of your voucher and move anywhere in the United States that has a Housing Authority covering the area.

My advice to you is to call each Housing Authority you can and apply at all of them that are taking applications. Just remember to keep your contact information updated with them at all times because you don't want to miss your letter when they try to contact you. Also you may want to ask if they have a Public Housing program, you don't get the freedom to find your own place but they usually accept applications more often and the waiting list is not as long.

I wish you the best of luck!

It is my understanding that all states have a long waiting list for section 8 housing. Check with the local welfare dept to see if they have a listing of low cost apartments in your area and you may be able to sign up for other benefits at the same time. Good luck.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
