You may qualify. Every state has different income requirements.

I wanted to know if I can add my friend and her 1 year old son to my section 8 in virginia (not goin to add til november tho) my 1 year lease will be up in december also I plan to transfer my section 8 to georgia so how long after I add 2 ppl should I put in my request for transfer
I’m not sure I got your situation straight. If you’re friend is living with you now, you should add her and the baby now since your Section 8 voucher value might change. Otherwise, when they move in with you.

For which city and state? Is your Housing Authority taking Applications for their Waiting list? It’s not just completing an application form.
