Deep dives

Understanding Section 8 Housing

Section 8 is a government program designed to assist low-income individuals and families by covering a significant portion of their rental costs. Landlords participating in this program receive guaranteed monthly payments from the government, ensuring financial stability for property owners. Tenants generally pay 0% to 30% of their rent, often leading to situations where tenants could pay as little as $7 a month. This system supports landlords by providing a reliable cash flow while offering a safety net for renters struggling to afford housing.
