Is the section 8 application form started in fl?

Answer 1

This question is vague. If you're asking if there is Section 8 in Florida, the answer is yes: Section 8, now known as Housing Choice Voucher Program, is everywhere in the United States, per federal (HUD) regulations.

If you're asking if there are any voucher programs open in Florida to apply, there may be or there may be a waiting list, which may or may not be open.

The housing choice voucher program is administered by local or regional Housing authorities. These housing authorities, most of which administer the housing choice voucher programs, have their own set of rules by which people can apply for housing assistance.

In most cases Housing authorities have a waiting list. When that waiting list reaches its capacity -- this is typically most of the time -- the waiting list is closed and remains closed until funding is received to assist more families. Some housing authorities have a d lottery system, by which they will open up the waiting list on a certain date and collect names of potential applicants. Out of a certain number of applicants who do place their names on the list, only a few names are accepted -- the rest are purged.

Many Housing authorities prioritize the waiting lists to people who fit certain categories, such as the elderly, disabled, veterans, our families with children. As soon as the person's name comes up on the waiting list -- this typically is about five years for a Housing Authority in a popular jurisdiction -- the family is contacted by the Housing Authority to further proceed in processing their application.

When a waiting list is open the Housing Authority is required by federal law to publish such an opening to their local news media, typically the local newspaper. Oftentimes you can check their website to see if they're waiting lists are open. If the waiting list is open, there will be instructions given on how to place your name on it -- usually a time, place or phone number, and a certain time range on when to contact them.
