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 Section 8 House

  • The family's income may not exceed 50% of the median income of New Jersey
  • If you are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, you may be eligible for 4 bedroom house for rent that accept Section 8 even if your income is above the income limits.
