Applicant Information
As the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program is a federally funded initiative, and many housing authorities administer this program, you may view the list of housing authorities throughout Connecticut by clicking here.
2-1-1 Navigator
The 2-1-1 Navigator is an interactive questionnaire that guides you through a series of questions to help determine which federal and state assistance programs you may qualify for and how to apply for them. While the results are not a guarantee that you will qualify for the programs for which you apply, it can tell you if it’s worth your time to apply.
Getting Started with Section 8
There are five simple questions to ask any housing authority:
- Do you have a Section 8 program?
- When will your waiting list be open?
- Do you have a residency preference or an initial residency requirement?
- Do you ever grant waivers of those preferences or requirements?
- How long is my waiting time likely to be, if I get on the waiting list?
You don’t have to live within a housing authority’s jurisdiction to apply for its Section 8 program. However, your wait time may be affected by how many residents within the housing authority’s jurisdiction need Section 8 assistance.
