Talk to the housing authority that issued the voucher. This is a pretty vicious thing to do, not that it isn't sometimes warranted.Is the person or family using drugs? What would be your reason for wanting to harass someone on the housing choice voucher? Might just want to live your life if you're not being bothered.
Either you are talking about getting a voucher while you are already renting, or you are talking about getting a voucher while you are on public housing. In the case of the former, if you are already renting a home, and you want your landlord to be able to accept that voucher, yes, that is possible. If the house is suitable for your particular household, and the property meets housing quality standards, then you can use your voucher for your landlord to receive housing assistance payments on your behalf. In the case of the latter, this means that you could find a home that is privately owned by a landlord who is willing to accept that voucher for housing assistance payments on your behalf, and move out of the public housing unit.
Yes, and many people do this for valid reasons. They may find it difficult to port their original voucher to the new jurisdiction, so it is not uncommon for voucher holders to have their names on the waiting list in other jurisdictions where they can jump to that jurisdiction and use its voucher as opposed to porting their original voucher. You might want to check with that Housing Authority to see if you can use your original voucher to port over to them: they may absorb the cost. If you do apply for the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP, formerly the Section 8 Program) anywhere, while you already are in another, you will need to give up the voucher of the old program first. I highly suggest you talk this over with your original Housing Authority as they can help you better through this means.

There are different variations of the section 8 program. There is the section 8 housing choice voucher program, there is multi-family section 8, there is public housing administered through the housing authority, there is 236 housing, there is 202 PAC, PRAC and 811 PAC, PRAC. Check with your local HUD office for a list of programs and who to contact to get on the different waiting lists.
section 8 housing
This is a question to ask the Housing Authority that is administering the Section 8 Program.
Each Housing Authority has its own rules by which someone applies for a section 8 voucher, now known as a housing choice voucher, or public housing. Most qualifications are the same for every jurisdiction, since the section 8 housing program is a federal program.
All states of the United States accept section 8 vouchers. The section 8 program is a federal program that is handled by the local housing authorities. But the voucher is only good at the jurisdiction that issued the voucher or where the voucher was ported to. To use your voucher at another jurisdiction you must arrange with the issuing housing authority to port over to the receiving housing authority.
An enhanced voucher would mean one that was given for a special reason or purpose. They're the same as Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8)
A Section 8 voucher can be used for any unit that the housing authority will approve.
It is possible to regain your Section 8 voucher after being evicted, but this typically depends on the circumstances of the eviction and the policies of the housing authority. You may need to work with your housing authority to address the eviction and demonstrate that you are now in stable housing in order to have your voucher reinstated.
Formerly known as Section 8, a Housing Choice Voucher is a voucher issued by the local public housing authority to a landlord which participates in the Program, which guarantees that the specified amount of housing assistance payments on the voucher will be paid by the federal Government on behalf of the tenant.
No. The housing choice voucher program is confidential in nature.
There is no such thing as a Section 8 Landlord. There are either public housing developments and apartments, or there are landlords who are willing to participate in the Housing Choice Voucher Program (I.e., accept section 8 vouchers).
A drug felony conviction can prevent you from receiving a section 8 voucher or public housing ANYWHERE in the United States. This is because, per federal regulations, drug felons are generally prohibited from receiving such voucher or public housing.
It depends on the reason for loosing the voucher, but probably not. Nothing prohibits a person from applying, though.
