Are you searching for a 2 bedroom section 8 house for rent in Knoxville, Tennessee? We will provide you with all the information you need to know about renting a 2 bedroom section 8 house in Knoxville, Tennessee.
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 Section 8 House
- You must be a U.S. citizen or have eligible immigration status.
- The family's income may not exceed 50% of the median income of Tennessee
- If you are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, you may be eligible for 2 bedroom house for rent that accept Section 8 even if your income is above the income limits.
2 Bedroom Section 8 Housing Income Guidelines
Three tiers of income limits are published for HUD programs:
- 1. Extremely Low (30%)
- 2. Very Low (50%) and
- 3. Low (80%).
These tiers are used by various HUD programs. Rents are determined by program definitions. The income limit for a Section 8 property is typically less than the tax credit income limit, except for properties subject to the Low (80%) limit
Federal Poverty Limit(FPL) for 2024
Nationwide, a majority of PHA accept applications 30%-50% of federal poverty level (FPL).
