Applying For Low Income Housing

Finding affordable housing can be hard when you have a limited income. Several federal public housing programs help needy families with rent. Public housing and the Housing Choice Voucher program or Section 8 are the primary ones. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) oversees both. These two programs operate differently and have different features. Before you apply for either of them, you should understand the differences so you can make the best choice for your family.
