A Housing Choice Voucher, formerly called Section 8, can be used to rent any property where the landlord agrees to participate in the program and the property passes a Housing Quality Standards inspection. There's no specific list of houses you qualify for. You find a rental, the landlord agrees to accept the voucher, and the local housing authority inspects the unit to make sure it meets their standards. The voucher covers a portion of your rent based on your income, household size, and the fair market rent for your area. You pay the difference between what the voucher covers and the actual rent, as long as the rent falls within the housing authority's payment standard for the area. Contact your local Public Housing Authority to get the specifics on your voucher amount, the payment standards in your area, and any restrictions on where you can use it. Some vouchers are portable, meaning you can use them in a different city or state than where they were issued. Your PHA can walk you through that process if you're relocating.

You qualify for homes within your local program’s payment limits, and the home must pass inspection and meet voucher requirements. Your housing authority can provide the exact price/rent limits for your area.

The first step I would suggest is for you to speak with an experienced loan officer to get the process started.
