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 4 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 Illinois. Some low-income families may qualify in limited cases.
- If you are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, ask your housing agency in Hickory Hills, Illinois whether it gives a preference on its waiting list. You must still meet its income limits.
4 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 Cook 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.
