[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 407500, member: 805"] A section 8 voucher means the voucher holder has interviewed with the housing authority and they have determined what amount that holder can afford to [I]pay in rent[/I]. The voucher (a dollar amount) is then given to the holder to find a landlord that accepts Section 8 vouchers. The housing authority pays, directly to the landlord the difference between the rent and the amount the holder is able to pay. A mod-rehab Section 8 voucher stays with one particular property whereas a regular Section 8 voucher is transferable from property to property as long as the landlord accepts Section 8. We have a number of houses and apartments where we accept Section 8 and others we don't accept the vouchers for. Many of our Section 8 tenants are hard working single moms trying to provide a better life. They don't want to live in government subsidized housing, they work (usually fairly low paying jobs), but many are also going to school. Section 8 was intended as a [I]temporary[/I] "leg up". Her best bet would be to try and get a USDA subsidized mortgage (although I think the trailer would have to be new). I'm sure she would qualify since it's for those with pretty low income. [/QUOTE]
