What should I know about Section 8 housing?

By Bob Millaway July 26, 2026

Short Answer

Section 8, also known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program, is a federal program that subsidizes rent for low-income tenants. As a landlord, you receive a portion of the rent directly from the housing authority, and the tenant pays the remainder. The property must pass a Housing Quality Standards inspection. Section 8 can provide reliable, government-backed rental income, but it also comes with additional inspections and paperwork requirements. Full answer page coming soon.
