What Is Section 8?
Section 8 is a government program that helps low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled pay for housing. It gives them vouchers that they can use to rent apartments or houses from private landlords. The amount of rent that the family pays depends on their income. The government pays the rest.
Public housing agencies (PHAs) are local organizations that help people find affordable housing. They get money from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help people pay their rent.
Who is eligible for 2 Bedroom Section 8 House?
To be eligible for a Section 8 house:
- You must be a U.S. citizen or have eligible immigration status.
- In general, your family's income may not exceed 50% of the median income for your county or metro area in Delaware. Some low-income families may qualify in limited cases.
- If you are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, ask your housing agency in New Castle, Delaware whether it gives a preference on its waiting list. You must still meet its income limits.
2 Bedroom Section 8 Housing Income Guidelines
HUD Income Limits for 2026
HUD publishes three tiers of income limits each year. They are based on the median income for your county or metro area and your household size:
- 1. Extremely Low: generally the greater of 30% of area median income or the federal poverty level
- 2. Very Low: 50% of area median income
- 3. Low: 80% of area median income
Housing Choice Vouchers generally serve very low-income households, and at least 75% of the families a housing agency admits each year must be extremely low-income unless HUD approves a lower share. Low-income families may qualify only in limited cases.
Find the current limits for your area on HUD's income limits page, or ask your local housing agency.
How does Section 8 work?
Here is a step-by-step guide on how Section 8 works:
- Contact your New Castle County housing authority to find out if you are eligible for Section 8.
- Complete an application and provide the required documentation.
- You will be placed on a waiting list.
How to Apply for a 2 Bedroom Section 8 House in New Castle, Delaware?
To apply for a 2 bedroom section 8 house for rent in New Castle County, Delaware, you need to follow these steps:
1. Contact your local Housing Authority directly or visit their website to fill out an application.
2. Provide documentation of your income, citizenship or immigration status, and personal information. Make sure to have all the required documents ready before starting the application process.
3. Attend an interview with the Housing Authority. Once you submit your application, you will be scheduled for an interview with a housing specialist.
4. Wait for your application to be reviewed and approved. After your interview, your application will be reviewed by the Housing Authority. The review process can take several weeks or months depending on the demand for section 8 housing in the area.
5. Go through a home inspection. If your application is approved, a housing inspector will visit your home to ensure it meets the program's standards. The inspection will cover areas such as safety, cleanliness, and basic utilities.
6. Sign your lease and move in. Once your home passes the inspection, you will be able to sign your lease and move in. Keep in mind that you will be responsible for paying your portion of the rent on time each month and following the rules outlined in your lease agreement.
Rent Payment for 2 Bedroom Apartment
As a tenant, you are responsible for paying your portion of the rent on time each month. This amount is determined based on your income and the rent amount for the property in New Castle, Delaware.

You will need to sign a lease agreement that outlines your rent payment responsibilities, including the due date, late fees, and acceptable payment methods.
It is important to communicate with your landlord and the Housing Authority if you are unable to make a rent payment on time or if you have any questions or concerns about your rent payments.
Maintenance Responsibilities
As a tenant, you are responsible for keeping your 2 bedroom section 8 house in New Castle, Delaware clean and in good condition.
You are responsible for reporting any necessary repairs to your landlord or property manager as soon as possible.
Your landlord or property manager is responsible for making necessary repairs and ensuring that the property meets the program's safety and habitability standards.
If you cause damage to the property beyond normal wear and tear, you may be responsible for paying for the repairs or damages.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. What is section 8 housing?
The housing choice voucher program is the federal government's program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market.
The participant is free to choose any housing that meets the requirements of the program and is not limited to units located in subsidized housing projects.
2. What is a housing voucher?
A housing choice voucher is provided by the federal government's major program to help very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market.
3. What is the most section 8 will pay?
It depends on your housing agency's payment standard, which is usually set between 90% and 110% of HUD's Fair Market Rent for your area. You typically pay about 30% of your adjusted monthly income. When you first move in, your share can't be more than 40% of adjusted monthly income if the rent is above the payment standard.
4. What is counted as income for Section 8?
HUD defines income to include:
- The full amount, before any payroll deductions, of wages and salaries, overtime pay, commissions, fees, tips and bonuses, and other compensation for personal services;
- The net income from the operation of a business or profession.
- Under HUD's 2023 income and asset rule, IRS-recognized retirement accounts such as a 401(k) generally do not count as assets, but payments you receive from them may count as income. Ask your housing agency how it applies this rule.
5. How to get Section 8 immediately?
Due to limited funding from the federal government and a shortage of low-income housing units, there is no guaranteed way to receive Section 8 immediately. The application process can be long and time consuming.
6. How long does it take to get a Section 8 voucher after the interview?
When a PHA in New Castle County, Delaware issues a voucher, it gives the assisted family at least 60 days to obtain housing. A PHA can extend the time it allots to a family based on various factors.
