FAQ — Got Questions?

We’ve Got Answers!

Eligibility is primarily based on your total annual gross income and family size.

Generally, your household income must be below 50% of the median income for the county or metropolitan area where you choose to live.

Our 60-second quiz helps you determine if you fall within these local limits for 2026.

Yes! Section 8 is designed to help all low-to-moderate income earners, including those in the "gig economy."

While traditional lenders may find 1099 income "mysterious," the Housing Choice Voucher program accepts bank statements and tax returns as proof of income.

Our guide provides specific instructions on how to document your earnings correctly.

No. Our eligibility quiz is an informational tool and not a credit application.

We do not perform "hard" or "soft" credit pulls.

Your credit score only becomes relevant later in the process when a specific landlord screens you for their property.

No. We are a private resource center dedicated to helping families navigate the complex housing system.

We provide guides, real-time waiting list alerts, and income documentation tips.

Official applications must always be submitted through your local Public Housing Agency (PHA).

Waiting times vary significantly by location.

Some areas have lists that move in months, while others may take years.

This is why our service is vital—we alert you the moment a "Priority List" opens in your area so you can be among the first to apply.

Our basic eligibility check and housing resource guide are 100% free.

Our mission is to provide accessible information to those who need it most. We will never ask you for payment to access government housing information.

Yes. One of the best features of the Section 8 program is "portability."

After an initial period (usually one year), you can often "port" your voucher to any other jurisdiction in the U.S. that has a housing authority to manage it.
