Do I go on a waiting list?



Recommended Posts

I notice my teenager very unhappy & it's breaking my heart :( since she is a minor she can't leave the house until 18. I'm willing to apply for section 8 under spouse & child abuse. I don't know where I go to apply. Is this the same place you would apply for housing? Should I start looking now since I heard there is a waiting list? I'm willing to apply and let her live in the apartment with the boyfriend until I have enough money to go live in my place. The lease and everything will be under my name,but she can pay & the boyfriend the rent requested.

We got 2 years to figure this out.

If you wanna help me out with locations & where I should go.

I live in New York city queens area & I don't want to leave queens. I want the most a four bedroom apartment but willing to settle for a 3 bedroom. I do want & need my own bedroom :) kids can share :)

Thanks

I know every state is different but here they only open Section 8 applications one day a year and the list to obtain a voucher is 3, 4, 5 years long.

Wow! So no matter the situation that's the waiting period? Wow!!! 5 years its long but doable we just have to suck it up if worst comes to worst. If anything they can rent a room somewhere until we can have our own place. Better then being on the streets.

That's how section 8 is. Emergency case or not. Got to wait.

Look into some foundations that have housing all around. They can get you apartment's fairly quickly, all rent based on income.

I live in an apartment complex that the Caleb Foundation owns and rents to me on how much income is coming in.

I apply for this place called HUD is for low income family. The rent goes according to your income. I'm researching,and applying all over especially if it's going to take years.
