Hi I’m Jason Strick,
I’ve been a Section 8 Landlord for over 10 years and I am very pleased to have wonderful Section 8 tenants. My goal is to help those looking for affordable housing and those needing help with completion of the Section 8 application. I tell it like it is so you’ll find only straight talk here – no complicated government lingo. I’ll try to answer your questions promptly and guide you along the way. If you have any questions please use the comment form on an article or the contact form and I’ll get with you promptly. Thanks and good luck.
I am on sec 8 and am disabled. I want to get married, can i add him to my voucher and what is the income limit for 2 people?
I don’t know if anyone ever answered your question or not, but yes, you can add your spouse to your section 8 voucher, however whatever income your partner is making, will be counted as part of your income. The amount of money that housing would give you for a property is zero, they will authorize a voucher according to size of the family….being a couple means you would get a voucher for a one bedroom. The amount that the landlord will receive, would vary according to county and state that you reside in.
Hi im johanna i am living in section 8 hud apartments i am having some problems with an ex boyfriend he actually has the keys to my apartment which they gave to him after i told him to leave and not come back. I have not been staying there because i am scared of him entering while me and my children are sleeping. I got a friend to come stay with me he actually called the police and lied to them and they came i left my apartment bc i was afraid. I called the manager of the apartments they said i have to pay to have everything changed. I don’t think i should because they gave him a key and let him in my apartment.
Johanna,
Section 8 housing authority is heavily behind the spousal abuse laws. You need to call your housing authority and report that there is spousal abuse etc and they can direct you as to what to do. I’m guessing at this point it is a police matter and you need to file a report and restraining order. The county will not get in the middle of your arguement or whatever w/the key situation. Try talking to the landlord and having the locks changed.
Hi jason i have been offered a voucher in san patrico county but i just registered into acc college in austin texas. I have not found a place yet but i wanted to know if being new to the program can i port to Austin texas
I have section 8 my lease is up Nov. 30th I want to port from Georgia to Irmo SC that does not have a housing authority, only Columbia SC does. I just want to know the best approach to take to make sure Irmo SC does have funds available. When going to gosection8.com they do have homes that take section 8. I will begin looking in July and willing to pay an early deposit so I can be settled by DEC 1st in a cozy home in Irmo,SC…Any Suggestions!!
