What is and how do you get section 8 in mi?
Section 8 is a program for low income familes or even adult indivuals. There is public housing where they can reside and pay a low amount of rent, there are also vouchers that are available, which allows a person to look for housing in the private market and they can use this voucher in any apartment where the landlord will accept it. With a voucher, your local housing authority pays a portion of your rent, and you pay the rest. How much you pay, goes according to your monthly income. Section 8 can be very hard to get on, there are usually waiting lists a mile and a half, and sometimes the wait can be years. In my area, to get a voucher, besides being approved (meaning they need to make very little income) the wait is almost 5 years. Call your local housing authority if you wish to apply. You can even type in your states housing authority on the net, the number will most likely come up, and possibly a website. EDIT: http://www.mich
