[quote=Anonymous]Social worker here. Go ahead and apply for section 8 (now called Housing ChoiceVoucher Program). How long it takes depends on where you live. Right now the DC list is probably about 5 years long, although it does vary. There are also site-based programs. Keep an eye out for any new buildings that include a certain proportion of affordable housing--for these you would apply to the complex directly using basically all the same application materials required by the housing authority. For either voucher or site-based, you would be required to contribute 30% of your income toward rent and the rest is paid thru the subsidy. For vouchers there is a set amount the apartment can cost. In DC, it varies by neighborhood and whether utilities are included.[/quote]
