Stizzylita19
not sure but what I can tell you is that I got a letter in march of 2013 that said I was on top and I needed to take additional information in and then I will be called in to recieve my voucher once they ran the info. Well I did as they asked and I am still waiting to go to that meeting so I can recieve the voucher. This is the middle of june, so it been almost 4 months and counting. I was actually on section 8 before and it never took more than 2 months to recieve my voucher.

How much is a 2 bedroom section 8 voucher worth?
It's a little complicated. The rules for section 8 set a limit to the rent that can be charged by the landlord. This depends on where the apartment is and what is provided in the way of appliances and utilities. Note. In general, if you find a three bedroom unit whose rent is within the limit for a 2 bedroom, the section 8 people won't allow you to take it. If this happens to you, ask the landlord to rent it to you as a 2-bedroom, 2-living room unit. Strangely enough, this is quite legal. Provided you find a home that is within the limit, the housing authority will "means test" you to decide how much you can afford to pay yourself; they will then pay the difference directly to the landlord. You then pay what they didn't. Warning. Take great care to pay your portion. If you don't you will lose your voucher.
Is there emergency section 8 housing for disabled?
Unfortunately there is no such thing as emergency section 8 housing. There may be shelter for the disabled, which can be administered by a local housing authority or by another agency which helps homeless and disabled people receive housing. But the section 8 program is based upon an eligibility criteria for which there is typically a long waiting list, that can take about five or more years for one's name to come up on it. To be fair, federal regulations prohibit the bypassing of the waiting list for emergency reasons (however, disabled and elderly people often have priority over everyone else on the waiting list).
Where are you on the list of section 8?
This is not an appropriate question on Answers.com I don't think too many people want to publicly state that they are on the section 8 or that they were on the waiting list for such. If you want to ask questions about being on the section 8 waiting list, go ahead and ask that question. For your information, however, someone's name can come up instantly on a waiting list or can take over 15 years, depending on several variables including, but not limiting to whether the person is disabled, elderly, a veteran, a family with multiple children, or the victims of domestic violence.

Where do you apply for nc section 8 online?
Right now I can't see how you can apply for Section 8 online anywhere. This is because most Housing Authorities that administer the Section 8 Program, now known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program, or HCVP, have waiting lists, and procedures under which you must have your name put on the waiting list. If you're lucky to get on a waiting list, your name could take about five years to come up on the list. And be careful: if you move anywhere while you're on the waiting list, be sure to write to the Housing Authority and update them on where you live, because if you're on the list and they try but fail to contact you they will take you off the list immediately! Now, once your name comes up on the list they will send you more paperwork to process your application for a voucher. Send them everything they want, and don't forget to sign and date any and all documents, or they will return it to you and that may delay your process. It would be inconceivable that there would be an online method of applying for HCVP since the application process, by federal regulations, must be fair and equal to those applying.
