You do know not everywhere is required to participate in the section 8 program? Even if, they don't have to accept an applicant. Being on section 8 doesn't mean you automatically have a place to stay.Section 8:How about the government start lowering/stabilizing rent?
The Housing Choice Vouchers Program (often referred to as “Section 8”) is the federal government’s primary program to provide housing for Americans who are living in poverty, as well as the elderly and disabled. It provides qualifying families with assistance in paying the monthly rental fee (about 70%+) for homes and apartments that are located anywhere, not just in subsidized housing projects. In every major market in the country it is administered locally by municipal public housing agencies, which certify the tenants and residences for participation in the program.
