Hi Darren, Housing Authority or HUD can help with the Section 8 / Housing Choice Voucher program. The program is federally funded. You will need to show your ID, income statement (including SSI or SSDI), veteran status (if applicable), Social Security Card, and fill out an application. Once you are accepted in the program you will receive a blue form that you need to offer landlords when you apply for housing. Housing Authority will need to inspect the property and there is a separate lease for Housing Authority to fill out with the landlord as well.
