Eligibility depends on income, household size and local program rules. Ask your local housing authority about applying and waiting lists.
Can I use my Section 8 (HCV) voucher on RentWelcome?
Look for a home whose landlord lists your voucher type as accepted. Your housing authority must still confirm the home and approve the tenancy.
Does a rent estimate mean my home is approved?
No. Estimates are not approvals. Your housing authority makes all decisions about your voucher and the home.
