Section 8 Voucher Program
Section 8 is a government-funded program that helps low-income households pay the rent on private, market-rate rental units.
After you receive a voucher, you search and find a unit (within certain requirements). The rent you will pay will be 30% to 40% of your household’s adjusted gross income. A housing authority will pay the other portion of the rent directly to the property. If you move, the voucher moves with you.
To qualify for a Section 8 voucher, you must fall within Minnesota’s income Iimits.
Although the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) runs the Section 8 program, it is administered by local housing authorities or other affiliated organizations. Click on the housing authority for your area below, either on the map or the link. Contact information will be provided. Waiting lists for vouchers are often long or closed. Click here to check the status of the waiting lists in the metro area.
I have a voucher. How do I find a place that will accept it?
