are you disabled? widowed? left domestic violence? what have you done to show personal responsibility...ie not having kids young, working your way up in a job (i know 2 people started minimum wage in stores and became managers), if you had kids, were married to the baby daddy 1st?
Thank you for your services I really appreciate it. I am currently homeless, A Vet with to Children and a Recovering addict in Washington State so I'm gonna learn everything I can to help better myself Thank You.
I applied in December of 18 and I'm still waiting. I don't think it's fair that you only have 90 days to find a place. Waiting lists can be very long for apartments.
It doesn't seem fair. I've heard people will just move farther away to find a place. Even if you find a place, you need a pretty spotless background check too because there is so much competition. Not enough houses to rent. I wish you the best.
You seem to be a person with lots of sense as well as a heart. Thank you for your attitude towards felons. Every person & every situation is always different.
Everyone has a story. I have a tenant who did time for car jacking in his younger years. Now he is raising his family’s kids and spreading Christianity. He’s a great tenant. He was in jail in the upper peninsula. No fences in the yards but the lookout tower would tell prisoners when to go in because of bear sightings. He said no one ran away. If he is late on rent, I dress up as a bear and knock on his door. KIDDING! He’s never late.
I feel like felons have paid the price for bad behavior already. If we keep kicking people who are trying to turn their life around, they will never change.
Good luck! Report back how long it took from the application to getting the Move Packet in your hand. The move packet is what you need to actually rent a house.
@@MoniqueBurns will do! Did the application on line, after a year they mailed me saying I was approved. Now I'm just waiting on the in person interview, they said it should take 2 weeks after the interview to get the vouchers.. I'll keep you guys updated
I like to watch out for videos like this and see if ppl are giving bad information, thank you for doing what you do, being honest open and decent to people, we need more people like you in this world because people treat section 8 like it’s a scourge when it’s really decent working people who are in need and it just gets a bad rap. I don’t have it but I do like to also advise people on how to get it and such. Thank you for what you do bless
So nice of you! Do you advise people on a platform or from a legal aid office or just people you run into? Someday I think I should volunteer in something to do with housing. My perspective could be helpful. Right now I have to focus on making money though. We sell renovated houses in Detroit to investors who want to just collect income each month.
Just finished reading your written portion. Wow. You appear to have accomplished alot as well as helping people in a respectful way. Impressive! Good for you! 👏💜
thank you. You seem ike a very decent person. We appreciate. Waiting three years now. Currently in the LIHTC Program which was great the first 12 months but then we had to go month to month and rent now goes up twice a year. We have seen our percentage of income spent on housing got from 30% to 39% in just three years and overall up $3,900. Hard an depressing. We recently asked a question of the management company and received an odd reply with a sentence about evictions and how we have no rights...shocked and stunned...but we had the good cause for eviction rider...signed by management...but we live in fear. Good people who paid rent on time..never missing and rent or other bills...so hard to stay in the game. I appreciate your willingness to speak with kindness about us folks that trhough no fault of their own find themselves in housing insecurity and I am 67 years old. Best wishes. I will be following you page.
NOW the lease for 12 months means nothing. Written into the lease is a clause, that says the rent can be raised even during the lease period. One erson move in one month ago - second three month ago and third 5 months ago. They thought they were being told rent would be X for 12 months then you go to month to month. NOW their rent in increased almost immediately. Such entrapment...so pay special attention to a lease that you think stated 12 months first then month to month. Nothing is locked in - as these seniors now discover to their detriment. Oh and no one cares. Sad. Legal apparently. Ethical? well all these days talk of homelessness...just terrible.
While I waited 2 years, i finally had finally got it after I was admitted into the hospital for emergency surgery, so they gave the voucher to the next person not waiting on me to be released from the hospital!
I'm working with an agency thats paying 70percent of my rent for the next two months then im getting on section 8! Because i was homeless 4 or so times and i have mental and some physical disabilties. So thank god!
Hi your video is very interesting, I learned a lot of information I wasn't aware of. I was on section 8 in Lexington, sc but I was taken off due to my income but when covid hit my income changed, I did however put in application in another county Georgetown,sc. I received a letter which was good, so now I'm basically waiting til my name gets to the top of the list.
If you go to www.AffordableHousingOnline.com there are other open waitlists you could put your application in. I wish you the best! Thanks for watching my video.
If you are domestic violence it's not hard to qualify for a section 8 voucher. You need police reports that you have been abused. In NYC they require 3 police reports and an order of protection if they haven't changed there requirements.
It hasn’t helped me in Florida currently living on a couch since August and my kids are sharing a room with my siblings. I didn’t want to return home as I was abused here by my parents. Thinking about going to a shelter.
It help me out tremendously in 1999 I’m not sure that voucher changed me and my children life I was able to get away from him because I no longer needed to depend on him
True...I had applied in NYC for Section 8 housing due to DV..but I had to move away to Florida before I got approved. Thankfully...I got a job within a week and within 6 months I had my own place..
Califonia was one of the last states to finally ban source of income discrimination. The only problem is landlords find ways around it...such as not filling out paperwork that is needed for tenants to move in...or not returning calls or emails if they are unfamiliar with a different source of income. Now they have people investigating and reporting these managers who pretend to accept all sources of income but don't follow through with getting those tenants a place to live.
I don’t know why a landlord MUST accept a business relationship with someone who involves red tape if the landlords doesn’t want to deal with red tape. The red tape takes more time and money and possibly a new employee to handle it. If someone comes without all the red tape, shouldn’t it be the right of the Landord to choose the best economical choice for himself? I personally prefer Section 8. The red tape is worth my own extra hours to get the guaranteed rent. I like it that I can choose for myself though.
I think the best way to bypass a wait list is to move where no one wants to move lol where I live now it's very small town and the wait was about 6 weeks. I tell people about it but they won't go saying it's nothing out there. But the good thing is you can move after a year
Great point! Thank you for sharing. Can't you now move somewhere else and port your voucher too? If someone is willing to start out in the boonies, then that seems like a way to bypass the waiting the list.
If you need housing urgently, you can move into a shelter. That puts you on a different list. Some people also will move to a different city with a quicker turnover time. I met a woman who moved to Battle Creek, Michigan from Detroit just to get on Section 8 and then move back to Detroit once she had the voucher. Here is a link to Section 8 waiting lists that are open now: affordablehousingonline.com/open-section-8-waiting-lists
Im was on housing list back in 2021 they removed because I didnt put in there paperwork.I graduated from hdap program in santa clara county.Now i got to pay the full rent.
My grandmother died a few months ago (I had been helping her for four years) and unfortunately I have to stay in her house until I get A HUD apartment....my sister helped me fill mine out. I get disability about $800 a month I have trouble getting around anymore and put on my HUD application that I would need something to grip onto for the shower and transportation cause I can't drive. I'm worried because I don't know where I will go if I don't get help. My grandmother was in debt too....I'm so worried.
Claim good outcomes! Look for abundance all around you. Lots of green grass. Pretty fluffy clouds. You can read and write. You have internet access. Keep noticing those things and keep your focus there. You’ll be rewarded in surprising ways when your thoughts are stayed on Good/God/Blessings. You can’t control HUD or your disability. But you can control what your thoughts rest on. Rest in goodness. There’s some unsolicited advice for ya! 😄
I was able to bypass the waiting list. I was living in a boarding house which qualifies as living in substandard housing. It only took me a matter of months. I had a social work agency help me find a back door to getting approved.
@@zaara25 I live in Maine. They still have boarding houses here that you can rent a room weekly or monthly. It's not cheap rent, but it does put you in the category of living in substandard housing since you won't have a separate kitchen or bathroom. Maine also (in my opinion has the best social benefits in the country). Minuses here are that non-locals will have to tolerate a certain amount of discrimination, and the weather during the winter can be atrocious. Overall I recommend living here.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I've never heard of a boarding house rule. How did you get the caseworker? That information could help others too.
@@MoniqueBurns Yes, boarding houses normally contain rooms which lack a separate bathroom/shower/kitchen, so my understanding is that makes them considered as substandard. But even with that, you come up against how many vouchers are available. But my case manager/social worker's agency was super well informed (I guess by insider contact) as to where the vouchers were available. I am on SSDI, so that played a part (along with luck) in getting a case manager. The local mental health agency has case workers, but I went through an outside agency not affiliated with them. If it were left to me to figure all the Section 8 details out, I would have been in the boarding house for a long time! Maine is a little more ahead with the efficiency of these processes than probably most places.
I caught one mistake on your video that you can correct in another. Although having your self organized and having everything in order does get you on the list faster, it does not get you at the top of the list. The Section 8 list in my agency is opened online for a few days. People apply through a link to a third party site. Out of those applicants 1,000 are randomly chosen and sent to our computer system. We never see the paperwork. We never see the list. Anyone that doesn’t complete the form correctly is rejected by the computer. They can contact a help center to find out why and correct it though. We had 1,500 applicants in 2 days. 1,000 were randomly chosen for vouchers.
I appreciate your comment. But people are suddenly granted vouchers from what they tell me. Most people tell me what you just explained though. I think some housing commissions hold out spots for emergency needs. From what I can tell...and aren't there corrupt people everywhere who are bumping applications somehow? It's curious.
I’m tying to get an apartment but most of them ask for the income to be 3x the rent amount and have to have worked at least 9 months in the same job. My boyfriend recently changed jobs and doesn’t earn much. due to me being pregnant we applied for section 8 but waiting 7 years is a lot 😭 I’m almost due and we don’t have a place 😫
That's a different section under HUD, I believe one section is called "236", I haven't worked under this section, it also requires 3× income level... If you are low, to very low income, stick with your search with Section 8 properties.
I live in upstate NY and because the sec 8 was created so that we would not be able to get evicted because of new ownership. So we can move and take it with us however we can't take advantage of buying a home via sec 8
I live in South Carolina and I have be on the housing list for 18 years and I don’t understand how the people who don’t need it. I have a handicap son plus I have a take care of him. Know that I have asthma and Bronchitis it’s so hard to keep trying to get on a list for me and my son. The system here in South Carolina sucks
I'm not trying to be mean but I've looked up that guy's prices and people who are on section 8 or looking for housing don't have the money for consultations it's such a weird niche spot to charge the poorest for consulting. Especially for 15 minutes on the phone to resolve such a huge problem. I'm going to be honest this is all pretty gross.
Great explainations. Ps. Your quite the character because I cannot believe how brave you were with the facial reaction of your "Bad Side Deal" vid link, was funny.
I have to wait 4 years to get it. However, the problems are their are so many landlords in my area refuse to rent to use ! I'm having problems with getting my landlord to fix problems that have nothing to do with me. No one wants to repair anything !
There is a lot of demand. Many landlords can't or won't rent to Section 8 applicants. To gauge demand in an area, call a few property management companies and ask them.
I filled out for the lottery when it opened in 2008 in C Ohio. I was never called. I applied last year in November 2020 under the new open lottery and called today. I was told that the first 48 names were just pulled today and of course me and my children’s names were not on the list. SMH! I am sooooo exhausted. I don’t think I will ever get housing help here. It is tooooo hardddd to get help in this city.
I been trying and right now a few are open but what I don’t get if all the yrs past people ain’t got nothing why keep opening and adding and adding what’s the point they shouldn’t take anything till everyone is on there . Now I filed a few this yr and now I gotta go there in person which if ur poor u can’t and that’s just to get on list not even in the place yet
If you are already on section 8 an trying to move an receive a new RTA what documents do I need to give my landlord besides the REQUEST TO MOVE FORM .???
With the RFTA is what I call a Move Packet. Or maybe Section 8 calls it that? I don't know really. But tenants hand me a whole packet of papers to read and fill out and submit to their Section 8 caseworker.
The Request to move form goes to your Section 8. Housing Specialist. I would advise you to get ready too move by Cleaning, fixing up & repairing ur old unit because once ur paperwork is ready you only have 90. Day's to complete your move in process @ the new unit. You still gotta get the new unit inspected from the inspector b4 moving in as well.
You bypass the section 8 waiting list by being 80 years old, as my mother is. They apparently give priority to those that are very old, & frail. However, the process is still apparently not working...
So many comments that they weren't able to bypass it with being elderly, disabled, victims of domestic violence or homeless. It's more difficult than that. Jay at Section8Consulting.com helps people through that process.
Hi Monique great info thank you so much for helping us poor folk. Especially since we aren’t able to go to next level in life Like playing a video game and just can’t get to next no matter how you try 🙏
Are you familiar with the California section 8/housing situation. I've heard a few different stories on the subject. Example: Even if your income is 80 to 100 thousands plus a year. Their saying you still need to apply and place your name on the list. (Regardless of high or low income if you live in California you qualify for and will receive housing assistant.) I myself do not have any access to the Internet news media or any government assistance programs. (I'm single and I've been living on my own. Stop working in 2012.)
Look on CZcams for Cyber Mixologist. I think he lives in California. He also does $40 consultations for people with any Section 8 questions. California is different from any state anywhere! Beautiful and sunny but the government there are outliers. Interesting comment though. $100k/yr doesn’t get you far in CA. It’s probably equivalent to $35k/year here in Detroit. You can buy a house in Detroit for $60k. But no ocean. No sharks either though! Or earthquakes. Just lots of fresh water and beautiful white snow in the winter.
@@MoniqueBurns I appreciate your reply and that income dollar amount is based on the costs of living in northern Indiana.(about 30 miles from Chicago IL.)
I have been waiting for a section 8 voucher for Oakland county since 2022 now. They said that it's taking longer because im not an Oakland county resident.
Hi my Marae . I have trying to fill the originàl section 8 application for to get on the waiting list for a one bedrooms and apt.. could you really give the ligitament list to rent.
I'm not sure what you're asking. Section 8 Consulting on CZcams. czcams.com/channels/NOCBTz3nxTNtkisYRXNUog.html. He has great advice there and he offers consulting.
Hi I need answers so I received a letter to fill out from the hud ...tenet papers ...but I applied to a different county and there preferences is that I lived or worked out there the time I applied. But I been moved to a different county same state tho ...will this disqualify my eligibility
Hi Kristina. I highly recommend you consult with Cyber Mixology on CZcams. He helps people navigate HUD and Section 8. I think he charges $40 to consult with him but it sure sounds worth it. I'm a property manager. I only know how it works as a property manager.
Hello I’m a #NEW #Subscriber and I just subscribed to your channel. Where I live, clayton nc they don’t t care if you 1 hour from getting put out ; they don’t skip lines for anyone. Smh
I got my section 8 voucher which only lasts 60 days and I can get an extension for a certain amount of time but all the apartments I have called have a waiting list of 2-3 years, now what?
@@MoniqueBurns : If you never heard of such a thing, then not sure you actually did any research. In NJ, where Section 8 is closed except for Union City, NJ, you only get 60 days to find a place, and then a 30 day extension. After that, you're done.
Be extremely proactive. I was in same boat years ago and the clock was ticking... And I was on my 2nd extension. I went and bought a box of envelopes, several books of stamps and got busy writing the mailing address on each one. I wrote a short letter stating the who, why, what and where's of my situation while asking if they would kindly send me any listings that would meet my requirements in the self addressed stamped envelope enclosed. Now granted, snail mail has followed the way of the dinosaur... And is quickly going extinct. I'm sure the same concept could be applied using email. The points I'm trying to make is show them you are sincere in your search, sending correspondence will make you stand out in the prospective landlord's mind in a positive light. Do as much as you can (within reason)to help them not have to do anything. You've heard the expression "Help me help you" to give my statement bit more context. Always be cheerful, extremely respectful, courteous even wihen the prospective landlord or rental agent isn't . Short story...The first week of each semester at college is always a nightmare. At registration students often don't get a desired class, so when the class meets they attend hoping to replace any registered students. Quite literally a class often has students standing lalong the backwlall of the classroom for the first week trying to get officially registered. Having all the additional heads on campus makes parking a nightmare as well. I learned quickly to park right in front of the sidewalk leading to a parking lot and ask every person headed into the prking lot if they were leaving, and if so would they like a ride to their car-to guarantee nobody else had an opportunity to park in that spot!! One day I was running late, and was desperate. This nice young lady answered me no she wasnt leaving she was going to sit in her car for nd hour and wait for her friend to get out of class. But she saw my desperation and decided to give me her spot!! I was SO grateful!! A couple years later my landlord and I had an arrangement in which I both dispensed and collected rental applications to prospective tenants as he lived 100 miles away. He'd stop by weekly to pick them up. "One day a strangely familiar looking young lady turned a completed application in. We both recognized each other as familiar...and after a few minutes it hit me!! She got me in a parking spot. I got her in the vacant unit! How you treat people does matter. Be polite to rental agents and landlords. They may have the property you're in need of at a later point in time. You cant cross back over bridges you've burnt behind you. "Karma!" Also don't be afraid to ask them if they might have any tips, advice or resources they can recommend to you if they don't have anything that meets your requirements. Good luck!!🙏😊
I got the interview and was given the yellow envelope was told yo find a place didn't find one in time. 3 months later they took it away. Cricket's. Nobody hasvtold me why or what happened 😕 and how to get it back
I really can’t. Look at the CZcams channel Cybermixologist. He offers affordable consulting. I know more the landlord end v the tenant part of Section 8.
I don't know if being a senior is a qualification or not. Go to Section8Consulting.com. There is more information there. I 'm a landlord. I only know that angle of Section 8. Good luck!
Doesn't matter if you a senior or not. If the section 8 list is not open in you state or you are not income qualified then you can't not apply. THE SECTION 8 WAITING LIST HAS TO BE OPEN FIRST AND FOREMOST.
Hi, I don't know. I don't work for Section 8. Sorry. I do ask my applicants if they have their move packet ready to hand me before I show them my house. Landlords don't like to show houses to someone who isn't ready to move. Good luck! Let me know if you found a place and how it went.
I live with my uncle long time ago more than 10 years and he has Seccion 8 . All the time went to the office with him and soliciting to put my name in the Vauvher, but I only app like assistance living. I spite of they’ve all my information I I have same address. I very much concern because he has 92 years old, so pleases telling me what can I do to resolve the problems. Pleases and thanks
Im 16, my two siblings and single mom have been homeless all year and staying in hotels. We've been waiting forever, my mom has been applying for places for months with no luck. Any advice?
@@MoniqueBurns i did my application. Lets say in 2020 in come to find out last week she told me i was drop for a apartment said that they tryed to contact me by phone .i never change my number are nothing
I’m in NJ and they select ppl by lottery. Seems like the waiting list only opens once every 3 or 4yrs. I’ve never been selected and probably make too much money by now. 🤷🏾♀️
@@lawanda2497 I’ve Googled it before. There’s a HUD chart public somewhere. It depends on your family size and possibly where you live. From memory about 6 years ago when I found it I think for my family of five it was $60k/year. If you find it, please share!
A credit report will show national evictions, how much is in collections (often old utility bills), how many other bills you have a month (of the ones that report like credit cards, student loans, medical bills, car notes, but not utility bills), if you're on the terrorist watch list. When your credit is run by a landlord, you can ask to have a copy. It's your report. You paid for it if they charged you for it. Then you can offer it to the next place you apply to see if you can get a discount on your application fee. Some places may say no so they know they don't get a doctored report though.
I am on top of the waiting list waiting on second letter bern 6 mos already elderly disabled disabled homeless & got sickness it is hot out here the shelters are full i dont have drugs charges nowhere on my record it serms like they sneaking their own people inn?
It sure seems that way, doesn't it? I always wonder! I wish you the best. I'm sorry what you're going through. It makes me mad when people abuse Section 8 when there are people like you that really need it.
I live in Idaho, I was on the waiting list for 2 years. I am a felon and after I got charged I had to appeal to keep it, but I won. I'm so grateful for that, I'm on SSDI and my rent goes up $100/month July 1st. It's sad that even following protocol for both section 8 and property management company, being in a basement apartment and the foundation leaks water down through the wall and up under the carpeting, the section 8 inspector gave them notice of 30 days to do something about it. So it gave them until July 2nd to remedy the issue and I haven't seen nor heard anything about it yet. I'm getting a little worried, if they don't fix it they don't get that 70% of rent that they pay and I truly can't afford the ridiculously high rent on my own.. so if the owners don't fix the leak, and they don't get the section 8 payment.. where does that leave me??
Pay your rent because if you get evicted . You lose your voucher and also if you go court definitely will lose . Court , failure to pay rent , recertification and inspection . Save yourself some stress
THEY WILL ISSUE U A NEW VOUCHER AND ALLOW U TO FIND ANOTHER RESIDENCE...U WILL BE GIVEN BETWEEN 60-120 DAYS TO FIND ANOTHER PLACE DEPENDING ON WHAT STATE YOU'RE IN... 💯💯💯💯💯
You will have to move because if they don't fix it section 8 will give you the second notice that inspection failed. And ain't nothing you can do about it but move or lose your voucher.
lord please help me get this section 8 cause i am tried of living on other peoples i need my own again
Try CyberMixology. It's a CZcams channel. He may be the lord to help you. I don't know.
are you disabled? widowed? left domestic violence? what have you done to show personal responsibility...ie not having kids young, working your way up in a job (i know 2 people started minimum wage in stores and became managers), if you had kids, were married to the baby daddy 1st?
Going from living on your family to living on the taxpayers? No. Your family needs to keep you
Section 8 = own
You don't have any goals do you?

Oh wow! That just should not be happening to you!!! Good you are being a victor and not a victim.
But once u get it finding a place is almost impossable it seems I HV one an still homeless
I applied in December of 18 and I'm still waiting. I don't think it's fair that you only have 90 days to find a place. Waiting lists can be very long for apartments.
It doesn't seem fair. I've heard people will just move farther away to find a place. Even if you find a place, you need a pretty spotless background check too because there is so much competition. Not enough houses to rent. I wish you the best.

Hi your video is very interesting, I learned a lot of information I wasn't aware of. I was on section 8 in Lexington, sc but I was taken off due to my income but when covid hit my income changed, I did however put in application in another county Georgetown,sc. I received a letter which was good, so now I'm basically waiting til my name gets to the top of the list.
If you go to www.AffordableHousingOnline.com there are other open waitlists you could put your application in. I wish you the best! Thanks for watching my video.
Thank you! For this info.
Glad it was helpful!
This was some good info….thanks
You are welcome. I hope it is helpful.
Thank You for the This Video!
My pleasure!
If you are domestic violence it's not hard to qualify for a section 8 voucher. You need police reports that you have been abused. In NYC they require 3 police reports and an order of protection if they haven't changed there requirements.
Interesting. Thank you for commenting.
It hasn’t helped me in Florida currently living on a couch since August and my kids are sharing a room with my siblings. I didn’t want to return home as I was abused here by my parents. Thinking about going to a shelter.
It help me out tremendously in 1999 I’m not sure that voucher changed me and my children life I was able to get away from him because I no longer needed to depend on him
True...I had applied in NYC for Section 8 housing due to DV..but I had to move away to Florida before I got approved. Thankfully...I got a job within a week and within 6 months I had my own place..
This was very helpful 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Califonia was one of the last states to finally ban source of income discrimination. The only problem is landlords find ways around it...such as not filling out paperwork that is needed for tenants to move in...or not returning calls or emails if they are unfamiliar with a different source of income. Now they have people investigating and reporting these managers who pretend to accept all sources of income but don't follow through with getting those tenants a place to live.
I don’t know why a landlord MUST accept a business relationship with someone who involves red tape if the landlords doesn’t want to deal with red tape. The red tape takes more time and money and possibly a new employee to handle it. If someone comes without all the red tape, shouldn’t it be the right of the Landord to choose the best economical choice for himself? I personally prefer Section 8. The red tape is worth my own extra hours to get the guaranteed rent. I like it that I can choose for myself though.
Easy .raise the rent just above fair market rent that HUD allows.
I really need your help thank you so much
Email me your question. Monique@greatdaypm.com
You are absolutely amazing! You are the person i am needing to get counsel from! Lol are you not more known?!
Thank you. What kind of counsel? Monique@greatdaypm.com.
I think the best way to bypass a wait list is to move where no one wants to move lol where I live now it's very small town and the wait was about 6 weeks. I tell people about it but they won't go saying it's nothing out there. But the good thing is you can move after a year
Great point! Thank you for sharing. Can't you now move somewhere else and port your voucher too? If someone is willing to start out in the boonies, then that seems like a way to bypass the waiting the list.
what state?
❤very informative
What a wonderful program for creating animosirty, resentment, and tension
Yes, true. Also opportunity for housing otherwise unattainable.
Wow 😮 I didn’t know it was so hard applying for Section 8 A 7 year waiting list.😩 What if you need housing urgently!
If you need housing urgently, you can move into a shelter. That puts you on a different list. Some people also will move to a different city with a quicker turnover time. I met a woman who moved to Battle Creek, Michigan from Detroit just to get on Section 8 and then move back to Detroit once she had the voucher. Here is a link to Section 8 waiting lists that are open now: affordablehousingonline.com/open-section-8-waiting-lists
7 years?!?!?!
Thanks so much for this video I’m a single mom in Cali desperately need my own place for the sanity of me and my daughter
The one here in n Orlando was open for 3days only lol and it’s no bypass waitlist or nothing else and the pre app had to be done online only.
Wow.
Im was on housing list back in 2021 they removed because I didnt put in there paperwork.I graduated from hdap program in santa clara county.Now i got to pay the full rent.
My grandmother died a few months ago (I had been helping her for four years) and unfortunately I have to stay in her house until I get A HUD apartment....my sister helped me fill mine out. I get disability about $800 a month I have trouble getting around anymore and put on my HUD application that I would need something to grip onto for the shower and transportation cause I can't drive. I'm worried because I don't know where I will go if I don't get help. My grandmother was in debt too....I'm so worried.
Claim good outcomes! Look for abundance all around you. Lots of green grass. Pretty fluffy clouds. You can read and write. You have internet access. Keep noticing those things and keep your focus there. You’ll be rewarded in surprising ways when your thoughts are stayed on Good/God/Blessings. You can’t control HUD or your disability. But you can control what your thoughts rest on. Rest in goodness. There’s some unsolicited advice for ya! 😄
@@MoniqueBurns praise the Lord
💜💜good luck
You are not responsible for your Grandmother’s debt
Bless you . Have faith and trust on the Lord
I was able to bypass the waiting list. I was living in a boarding house which qualifies as living in substandard housing. It only took me a matter of months. I had a social work agency help me find a back door to getting approved.
In which state were you able to bypass the waiting list?
@@zaara25 I live in Maine. They still have boarding houses here that you can rent a room weekly or monthly. It's not cheap rent, but it does put you in the category of living in substandard housing since you won't have a separate kitchen or bathroom. Maine also (in my opinion has the best social benefits in the country). Minuses here are that non-locals will have to tolerate a certain amount of discrimination, and the weather during the winter can be atrocious. Overall I recommend living here.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I've never heard of a boarding house rule. How did you get the caseworker? That information could help others too.
@@MoniqueBurns Yes, boarding houses normally contain rooms which lack a separate bathroom/shower/kitchen, so my understanding is that makes them considered as substandard. But even with that, you come up against how many vouchers are available. But my case manager/social worker's agency was super well informed (I guess by insider contact) as to where the vouchers were available. I am on SSDI, so that played a part (along with luck) in getting a case manager. The local mental health agency has case workers, but I went through an outside agency not affiliated with them. If it were left to me to figure all the Section 8 details out, I would have been in the boarding house for a long time! Maine is a little more ahead with the efficiency of these processes than probably most places.
I caught one mistake on your video that you can correct in another.
Although having your self organized and having everything in order does get you on the list faster, it does not get you at the top of the list.
The Section 8 list in my agency is opened online for a few days. People apply through a link to a third party site. Out of those applicants 1,000 are randomly chosen and sent to our computer system. We never see the paperwork. We never see the list. Anyone that doesn’t complete the form correctly is rejected by the computer. They can contact a help center to find out why and correct it though. We had 1,500 applicants in 2 days. 1,000 were randomly chosen for vouchers.
I appreciate your comment. But people are suddenly granted vouchers from what they tell me. Most people tell me what you just explained though. I think some housing commissions hold out spots for emergency needs. From what I can tell...and aren't there corrupt people everywhere who are bumping applications somehow? It's curious.
I’m tying to get an apartment but most of them ask for the income to be 3x the rent amount and have to have worked at least 9 months in the same job. My boyfriend recently changed jobs and doesn’t earn much. due to me being pregnant we applied for section 8 but waiting 7 years is a lot 😭 I’m almost due and we don’t have a place 😫
That's a different section under HUD, I believe one section is called "236", I haven't worked under this section, it also requires 3× income level... If you are low, to very low income, stick with your search with Section 8 properties.
Thank you! I didn't know how to answer that one. I'm a landlord, not a HUD employee or caseworker.
I live in upstate NY and because the sec 8 was created so that we would not be able to get evicted because of new ownership. So we can move and take it with us however we can't take advantage of buying a home via sec 8
Are you sure you don't have a home buying program with your voucher? I thought most of them do. Sorry to hear that.
I live in South Carolina and I have be on the housing list for 18 years and I don’t understand how the people who don’t need it. I have a handicap son plus I have a take care of him. Know that I have asthma and Bronchitis it’s so hard to keep trying to get on a list for me and my son. The system here in South Carolina sucks
Try this: Section 8 Consulting on CZcams. czcams.com/channels/NOCBTz3nxTNtkisYRXNUog.html. He has great advice there and he offers consulting.
I'm not trying to be mean but I've looked up that guy's prices and people who are on section 8 or looking for housing don't have the money for consultations it's such a weird niche spot to charge the poorest for consulting. Especially for 15 minutes on the phone to resolve such a huge problem. I'm going to be honest this is all pretty gross.
HUD turns it over to local housing authority. You have to wait until they open the list. No way around it!
I see people get around it often. Maybe they know someone or they aligned with an organization that knows someone.
Great explainations. Ps. Your quite the character because I cannot believe how brave you were with the facial reaction of your "Bad Side Deal" vid link, was funny.
Hello from Tucson,Az I’m having problems re-adding my Daughter back on Section 8. I was told that she cannot be added back on to Section 8.
That's weird how old is your daughter ?
Go to www.Section8Consulting.com if you need specific help. Hopefully you've already solved this though.
I have to wait 4 years to get it. However, the problems are their are so many landlords in my area refuse to rent to use ! I'm having problems with getting my landlord to fix problems that have nothing to do with me. No one wants to repair anything !
Sorry to hear about that. It is a problem I hear often.
This may seem like an obvious question, but how much demand is there for section 8 approved properties, and how can you gauge demand in an area?
There is a lot of demand. Many landlords can't or won't rent to Section 8 applicants. To gauge demand in an area, call a few property management companies and ask them.
Even if you get bumped up, it can take a year or two.
It may be changing. More people seem to be getting vouchers.
How do I apply if I’m pregnant now
I filled out for the lottery when it opened in 2008 in C Ohio. I was never called. I applied last year in November 2020 under the new open lottery and called today. I was told that the first 48 names were just pulled today and of course me and my children’s names were not on the list. SMH! I am sooooo exhausted. I don’t think I will ever get housing help here. It is tooooo hardddd to get help in this city.
Sorry to hear about that. I wish you the best.
I been trying and right now a few are open but what I don’t get if all the yrs past people ain’t got nothing why keep opening and adding and adding what’s the point they shouldn’t take anything till everyone is on there . Now I filed a few this yr and now I gotta go there in person which if ur poor u can’t and that’s just to get on list not even in the place yet
If you are already on section 8 an trying to move an receive a new RTA what documents do I need to give my landlord besides the REQUEST TO MOVE FORM .???
With the RFTA is what I call a Move Packet. Or maybe Section 8 calls it that? I don't know really. But tenants hand me a whole packet of papers to read and fill out and submit to their Section 8 caseworker.
The Request to move form goes to your Section 8. Housing Specialist. I would advise you to get ready too move by Cleaning, fixing up & repairing ur old unit because once ur paperwork is ready you only have 90. Day's to complete your move in process @ the new unit. You still gotta get the new unit inspected from the inspector b4 moving in as well.
I'm working on trying to get a voucher I live in Ms ,hope it doesn't take to much longer it's been over 10 years
Oh wow! Look on CZcams for Cyber Mixology. He advises people on Section 8. He’ll even do phone consultations for I think $40.
I think his fee is now $60. But he seems to be worth it, as he is a good source of information on Sec. 8 voucher system in a lot of states.
Okay, thank you
You bypass the section 8 waiting list by being 80 years old, as my mother is. They apparently give priority to those that are very old, & frail. However, the process is still apparently not working...
So many comments that they weren't able to bypass it with being elderly, disabled, victims of domestic violence or homeless. It's more difficult than that. Jay at Section8Consulting.com helps people through that process.
Thanks so much! Michigan viewer
I hope it actually helped. Thanks for watching. Say Yes To Michigan!

Hi Monique great info thank you so much for helping us poor folk. Especially since we aren’t able to go to next level in life Like playing a video game and just can’t get to next no matter how you try 🙏
You are so welcome!
Yea i need to learn how
Go to my top comment I pinged if you need to learn more.
Is this n Chicago Illinois I would love to know more info n pros n cons
I'm in Detroit. Go to my Section 8 playlist and there's a video on the pros and cons of being a Section 8 landlord.
Are you familiar with the California section 8/housing situation.
I've heard a few different stories on the subject.
Example: Even if your income is 80 to 100 thousands plus a year.
Their saying you still need to apply and place your name on the list.
(Regardless of high or low income if you live in California you qualify for and will receive housing assistant.)
I myself do not have any access to the Internet news media or any government assistance programs.
(I'm single and I've been living on my own. Stop working in 2012.)
Look on CZcams for Cyber Mixologist. I think he lives in California. He also does $40 consultations for people with any Section 8 questions. California is different from any state anywhere! Beautiful and sunny but the government there are outliers. Interesting comment though. $100k/yr doesn’t get you far in CA. It’s probably equivalent to $35k/year here in Detroit. You can buy a house in Detroit for $60k. But no ocean. No sharks either though! Or earthquakes. Just lots of fresh water and beautiful white snow in the winter.
@@MoniqueBurns I appreciate your reply and that income dollar amount is based on the costs of living in northern Indiana.(about 30 miles from Chicago IL.)
How does it stay on the tank? Zip ties or does it just fit?
I have been waiting for a section 8 voucher for Oakland county since 2022 now. They said that it's taking longer because im not an Oakland county resident.
Hi my Marae . I have trying to fill the originàl section 8 application for to get on the waiting list for a one bedrooms and apt.. could you really give the ligitament list to rent.

Hi I need answers so I received a letter to fill out from the hud ...tenet papers ...but I applied to a different county and there preferences is that I lived or worked out there the time I applied. But I been moved to a different county same state tho ...will this disqualify my eligibility
Hi Kristina. I highly recommend you consult with Cyber Mixology on CZcams. He helps people navigate HUD and Section 8. I think he charges $40 to consult with him but it sure sounds worth it. I'm a property manager. I only know how it works as a property manager.
It took me 13 years to get on section 8 it was and long waiting list
Does having kids speed it up ?
@@oxypunx88 No.😕
That's a long wait! Good job surviving that!!!
Yes! From my point of view as a landlord anyway. Not a reason to have children though of course.
@@MoniqueBurns yes it was now I am trying to move out of my apartment, I have my money saved,just need my move out papers
That depends on who you talk to in what city in what state well it depends on a lot of things right
So much! It may be a federal program, but the housing commissions have leeway.
Hello I’m a #NEW #Subscriber and I just subscribed to your channel.
Where I live, clayton nc they don’t t care if you 1 hour from getting put out ; they don’t skip lines for anyone. Smh
The housing commissions here pull from shelters quicker than from the waiting list.
Interesting
I appreciate your videos and find them interesting too. Great information for tenants who need Section 8.
There is more pages to fill out for section 8 housing, than the paper work I filled
out for my DOD security clearance
I believe it!
Im thankful for my apt...😊

I'm in San Diego, Ca and I've been on the waiting list for 10 years, hoping to get called soon

That's a long time! San Diego is a nice place to live.
Same 12 years
Its hard in California just to get on their public housing
@@sheliaalexander2794 ive been putting in since i was pregnant with my 32 year old.
I got it. It's a 10 year wait on the list.
I got my section 8 voucher which only lasts 60 days and I can get an extension for a certain amount of time but all the apartments I have called have a waiting list of 2-3 years, now what?
Try houses? Wow! I've never heard of that. Just keep trying. Let us know how it goes.
Find a private landlord if you can
@@MoniqueBurns : If you never heard of such a thing, then not sure you actually did any research. In NJ, where Section 8 is closed except for Union City, NJ, you only get 60 days to find a place, and then a 30 day extension. After that, you're done.
Look on craigslist, fb marketplace has rentals listed. Look for duplexes and houses for rent.
Be extremely proactive. I was in same boat years ago and the clock was ticking... And I was on my 2nd extension. I went and bought a box of envelopes, several books of stamps and got busy writing the mailing address on each one. I wrote a short letter stating the who, why, what and where's of my situation while asking if they would kindly send me any listings that would meet my requirements in the self addressed stamped envelope enclosed. Now granted, snail mail has followed the way of the dinosaur... And is quickly going extinct. I'm sure the same concept could be applied using email. The points I'm trying to make is show them you are sincere in your search, sending correspondence will make you stand out in the prospective landlord's mind in a positive light. Do as much as you can (within reason)to help them not have to do anything. You've heard the expression "Help me help you" to give my statement bit more context. Always be cheerful, extremely respectful, courteous even wihen the prospective landlord or rental agent isn't . Short story...The first week of each semester at college is always a nightmare. At registration students often don't get a desired class, so when the class meets they attend hoping to replace any registered students. Quite literally a class often has students standing lalong the backwlall of the classroom for the first week trying to get officially registered. Having all the additional heads on campus makes parking a nightmare as well. I learned quickly to park right in front of the sidewalk leading to a parking lot and ask every person headed into the prking lot if they were leaving, and if so would they like a ride to their car-to guarantee nobody else had an opportunity to park in that spot!! One day I was running late, and was desperate. This nice young lady answered me no she wasnt leaving she was going to sit in her car for nd hour and wait for her friend to get out of class. But she saw my desperation and decided to give me her spot!! I was SO grateful!! A couple years later my landlord and I had an arrangement in which I both dispensed and collected rental applications to prospective tenants as he lived 100 miles away. He'd stop by weekly to pick them up. "One day a strangely familiar looking young lady turned a completed application in. We both recognized each other as familiar...and after a few minutes it hit me!! She got me in a parking spot. I got her in the vacant unit! How you treat people does matter. Be polite to rental agents and landlords. They may have the property you're in need of at a later point in time. You cant cross back over bridges you've burnt behind you. "Karma!"
Also don't be afraid to ask them if they might have any tips, advice or resources they can recommend to you if they don't have anything that meets your requirements. Good luck!!🙏😊
I got the interview and was given the yellow envelope was told yo find a place didn't find one in time. 3 months later they took it away. Cricket's. Nobody hasvtold me why or what happened 😕 and how to get it back

No
Its possible I think, if they really know and love you anything's possible
I guess I should have asked is it possible for a section 8 landlord to pick an approved potential section 8 tenant?
No. I’ve had people try. They will have to qualify just like anyone else. If they eventually get S8 - BONUS!
Can’t avoid the waiting list at all.

Hello 👋 I’m in open waiting list what do next ? Thank 🙏🏻
Hi, I don't know. I don't work for Section 8. Sorry. I do ask my applicants if they have their move packet ready to hand me before I show them my house. Landlords don't like to show houses to someone who isn't ready to move. Good luck! Let me know if you found a place and how it went.

I’m in NJ and they select ppl by lottery. Seems like the waiting list only opens once every 3 or 4yrs. I’ve never been selected and probably make too much money by now. 🤷🏾♀️

www.Section8Consulting.com. Ask Jay. I hope he can help you.
I am trying to get a house , I am staying strong I am taking notes
How's it going? Have you found a place yet?
Do they actually check for when they do background checks in your credit
A credit report will show national evictions, how much is in collections (often old utility bills), how many other bills you have a month (of the ones that report like credit cards, student loans, medical bills, car notes, but not utility bills), if you're on the terrorist watch list. When your credit is run by a landlord, you can ask to have a copy. It's your report. You paid for it if they charged you for it. Then you can offer it to the next place you apply to see if you can get a discount on your application fee. Some places may say no so they know they don't get a doctored report though.

I am on top of the waiting list waiting on second letter bern 6 mos already elderly disabled disabled homeless & got sickness it is hot out here the shelters are full i dont have drugs charges nowhere on my record it serms like they sneaking their own people inn?
It sure seems that way, doesn't it? I always wonder! I wish you the best. I'm sorry what you're going through. It makes me mad when people abuse Section 8 when there are people like you that really need it.
I live in Idaho, I was on the waiting list for 2 years. I am a felon and after I got charged I had to appeal to keep it, but I won. I'm so grateful for that, I'm on SSDI and my rent goes up $100/month July 1st. It's sad that even following protocol for both section 8 and property management company, being in a basement apartment and the foundation leaks water down through the wall and up under the carpeting, the section 8 inspector gave them notice of 30 days to do something about it. So it gave them until July 2nd to remedy the issue and I haven't seen nor heard anything about it yet. I'm getting a little worried, if they don't fix it they don't get that 70% of rent that they pay and I truly can't afford the ridiculously high rent on my own.. so if the owners don't fix the leak, and they don't get the section 8 payment.. where does that leave me??
That leaves you in big trouble! Can you try to find a new place meanwhile? Let me know how it turns out. I'm sorry for your troubles.
Pay your rent because if you get evicted . You lose your voucher and also if you go court definitely will lose . Court , failure to pay rent , recertification and inspection . Save yourself some stress
THEY WILL ISSUE U A NEW VOUCHER AND ALLOW U TO FIND ANOTHER RESIDENCE...U WILL BE GIVEN BETWEEN 60-120 DAYS TO FIND ANOTHER PLACE DEPENDING ON WHAT STATE YOU'RE IN... 💯💯💯💯💯
Call news ☎️Station it will magically get fixed
You will have to move because if they don't fix it section 8 will give you the second notice that inspection failed. And ain't nothing you can do about it but move or lose your voucher.
