Housing authorities have the right to set its own rules regarding houseguests. The general rule is that houseguests are not allowed to stay more than 14 consecutive days. But the rules do vary among housing authorities.

Each Landlord has his own rules about this, and Housing Authorities have their own rules, which supersede the Landlord's, governing how long a guest can stay at a Voucher holder's home. Over 90% of the Housing Authorities I have surveyed said there's a 14 day limit.

Housing programs do not discriminate on the basis of gender. Housing authorities in some jurisdictions may impose a limit on how long a person can remain on the voucher program, excluding disabled and elderly persons.
You can apply for Section 8 housing. Also, there are usually agencies in the community that will help you get started in renting a home. With those, you also get expectations and responsibilities to make it in the long run.
Unfortunately there is no such thing as emergency section 8 housing. There may be shelter for the disabled, which can be administered by a local housing authority or by another agency which helps homeless and disabled people receive housing. But the section 8 program is based upon an eligibility criteria for which there is typically a long waiting list, that can take about five or more years for one's name to come up on it. To be fair, federal regulations prohibit the bypassing of the waiting list for emergency reasons (however, disabled and elderly people often have priority over everyone else on the waiting list).
Your section 8 voucher is accepted for any kind of dwelling, so long as as the number of bedrooms specified on your voucher. Most apartments have one or two bedrooms, while most houses have three or more bedrooms.
