Formally known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program, Section 8 is a program that provides housing assistance to low-income families, senior citizens and people with disabilities. This program is financed by the Federal government and fulfilled by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The Section 8 Voucher Program provides these vouchers so families are able to live in homes with low monthly rent, that are safe and clean. The voucher covers most of the rent and the tenant pays the difference.
