 TITLE: How to Qualify for a Section 8 Voucher CONTENT: If you believe you're eligible for Section 8, you can apply through your local PHA. The PHA can explain the documents you'll need to provide to show income, family size and citizenship.\nAfter getting a stamp of approval, you may be put on a waiting list depending on the number of applicants. If the list is long and the program funding is limited, it could take a while for you to get your housing voucher. However, some people on the list—such as people displaced, homeless or living in poor-quality housing—may get priority. END
