Section 8 Voucher

I'm currently divorced and I am section 8.  This is a government regulated program provided by the metropolitan housing authority in every city.  They assist low income elgible receipents by paying rent, or percentage of rent, passed on household income- to land owners or real estate companies.  A lot of real estate companies and landlord participate because it is a guaranteed check.  There are stipulations.  Your property has to be inspected and approved before a tenant can rent.  Every housing authority will pay so much for so many bedrooms.  Property owners can have there own rules and stipulation in relation to deposits etc.  If approved and rent is agreeable to section 8 then tenant is allowed to move in.  Even after the tenants move in section 8 still has yearly inspections to insure both the tenant and the land owner is keeping the property in proper maintenance.  You usually can find info on this program if you put in yahoo search window your state and metroplitan housing authority next to it or even your state section 8 program.  I hope this is helpful
