Section 8 and HUD-Assisted Rentals in Plymouth County, Massachusetts

Section 8 and HUD-Assisted Properties

We list 31 Section 8 or HUD-assisted properties in Plymouth County, Massachusetts.

The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program provides housing assistance, in the form of Section 8 vouchers, to low-income families. The Section 8 vouchers are used to help the family pay for housing. Local public housing agencies (PHA) administer vouchers based on household income and family size and recipients are free to choose any housing that meets program requirements.

How does one qualify for Section 8?

To be eligible for a Housing Choice Voucher in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, you must:

1. Meet HUD's income limits. In general, your family's income may not exceed 50% of the median income for the county or metropolitan area where you choose to live. Some low-income families, up to 80% of the area median, may qualify in limited cases.

2. Be in need of decent, safe, and/or sanitary housing.

3. Meet the documentation requirements of citizenship or eligible immigration status. Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for Section 8 housing voucher assistance.

4. Anyone evicted from public housing for drug-related criminal activity is ineligible for assistance for at least 3 years from the date of the eviction.

5. Other factors: Local housing authorities may consider additional factors such as family size, disability status, and the local demand for housing vouchers when determining eligibility.

Steps to Get Section 8 Housing or Section 8 Apartments in Plymouth County, Massachusetts

1. Find Public Housing Agency (PHA) in Plymouth County, Massachusetts

The Housing Choice Voucher program is overseen by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and administered by local PHAs. Your public housing agency in Plymouth County, Massachusetts can help you find and afford low-income housing.

2. Determine if you are eligible.

Applicant eligibility is based on both the family size and the total annual gross income. In general, the income may not exceed 50 percent of the median income for your area in Plymouth County, Massachusetts.

Section 8 is only available to US citizens and certain categories of legal immigration status. The public housing agency(PHA) in Plymouth County, Massachusetts will help determine if you are eligible for Section 8 Housing.

Unless HUD approves a lower share, at least 75% of the families a Public Housing Agency (PHA) admits each year must be extremely low-income. That generally means income at or below the greater of 30% of the area median or the federal poverty level.

3. Get Section 8 Applications

Housing section 8 applications in Plymouth County, Massachusetts are free. They may be available online, by mail or at the Plymouth County housing authority office.

4. Apply for Section 8

During the application process, the PHA will collect information on:

  • Family Income
  • Total Assets
  • Family Size

The Public Housing Authority will do income verification and identity verification to check your eligibility. They will verify this information with other local agencies, your employer and your bank, and determine the amount of the housing assistance payment.

5. Find out Section 8 Waiting List in Plymouth County, Massachusetts

If the Housing Authority determines that your family is eligible, you will be put on a waiting list, unless it is able to assist you immediately. Once your name is reached on the waiting list, the PHA will contact you and issue to you a payment voucher.

PHAs set their own preferences. For example, a PHA may give a preference to a family who is

  • 1. Homeless or living in substandard housing
  • 2. Paying more than 50% of its income for rent
  • 3. Involuntarily displaced.

If demand is high, some PHAs use a random lottery to choose applications, and many close their waiting lists. The PHA must give a reason for a rejection, and an applicant can request an informal review.

6. Find Section 8 Housing or Section 8 Apartments in Plymouth County, Massachusetts

The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program allows you to pick an eligible house or apartment that accepts Section 8, based on your family size. Tenants typically pay about 30 percent of their adjusted monthly income toward rent. When a family first moves in, its share can't be more than 40 percent of adjusted monthly income if the rent is above the local payment standard.

Once you find a house or an apartment that accepts housing vouchers, it must pass a physical inspection. The housing voucher payment goes directly to the landlord.

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 Plymouth County, Massachusetts 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.
