<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>Hi! Welcome to our Google Hangout. Today is\u2026 not January \u2013 it\u2019s December 30th \u2013 we normally do these on Wednesdays, but since tomorrow\u2019s New Year\u2019s Eve, we thought we\u2019d do it a day early. We actually hadn\u2019t planned on doing one of these hangouts until next week or the week after, but there\u2019s a lot going on with Housing Choice voucher waiting lists. We actually have 15 different waiting lists that are opening up next month, and I think one on the first week of February. So, I wanted to go ahead and jump in, and give you a little summary of some of the larger waiting lists that are opening up, and then we\u2019ve got about 103 or so waiting lists that are open right now, many of which are open all of the time, and you can find that information on our openings \u2013 actually waiting lists page \u2013 many of you watching the video right now are actually on that page. If you just scroll down the page, you\u2019re going to find a treasure trove of waiting lists that are open.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, you don\u2019t have to live in a specific area to apply for that waiting list. Many Section 8 programs have a local residency preference, which means that if you are a local resident, you get bumped up the list, above those who aren\u2019t local residents, but you can still apply. If you do end up coming up on the list, and you\u2019re called for voucher or issued a voucher, you would have to move to that city or county that the housing board\u2019s program area [is for], and live there for one year before you could actually port that voucher back to your home or somewhere else in the country. But again, don\u2019t forget that you can apply for a Section 8 program anywhere in the country.<\/p>\n<p>All right, I\u2019m going to go ahead and jump in and let\u2019s start with a couple of programs that we just learned about. El Paso, Texas \u2013 they\u2019re actually opening up their wait list on January 2nd at midnight. It closes on the 31st at 11:59pm. It\u2019s an online application only, and the Housing Authority has noted on their website that the waiting list is approximately 2-6 years long. That\u2019s a pretty wide range, but that\u2019s from their website. If you want some more information about that opening, and any of the openings that I talk about, you can start at the Section 8 Waiting List page on our site, and that will lead you through to detailed pages about each of these openings I\u2019m talking about. We provide very detailed information \u2013 how each program is going to work, when it opens, when it closes, whether it\u2019s online, whether it\u2019s [got] specific preferences, and we always provide a link to the official housing authority website. Make sure, whenever you\u2019re applying for Section 8, that you\u2019re applying on the official housing authority website. There\u2019s a lot of scam sites out there that try to get your personal information, usually for marketing purposes, and they use Section 8 applications as a cover. We aren\u2019t one of those; we work hard to make sure that our users are getting the best information, and we\u2019re sending them to the correct, official sites.<\/p>\n<p>So, anyway. Moving on to the next on the list \u2013 Lexington, Kentucky opens for the first time since 2010, on January 5th, and it closes on January 9th, so it\u2019s only going to be open for a business week. It\u2019s online only, and there will be 500 applications selected via random lottery. Again, details on that opening are on our Lexington pages.<\/p>\n<p>Sarasota, Florida \u2013 we just found this one actually over the weekend, and they\u2019ve announced an opening for January 5th, and it\u2019s closing on the 19th. It\u2019s an online application. There will be 750 applications selected by random lottery. There is a preference for local residents, and elderly, disabled, and homeless folks.<\/p>\n<p>Atlanta \u2013 this is actually the biggest one on our list to talk about today \u2013 and they\u2019ve not been opened, oh, I think since like 2001 or 2002 \u2013 it\u2019s been 12\/13 years now. \u00a0We actually just did, a week or two ago, a live Google Hangout just like this with Shean Atkins, an official with the Atlanta Housing Authority \u2013 about 25 or 30 minute talk about the program, and if you go to the Atlanta page on our website, you\u2019ll see a link to that video. It\u2019s very, very informative with lots of great questions [that] got answered by Shean. Thanks again, Shean. So, go check that video out. But Atlanta\u2019s opening up on January 6th, at 9am. It closes on January 13th at 5. It\u2019s an online only application and Atlanta is a little bit different than most Housing Authority, Section 8 programs that you know of. It\u2019s a Moving to Work program. It requires anyone in the program to be working full time, or going to school full time, or a combination of both, but you have to be \u2013 it has to be full time. And so, if you\u2019re not working, or you lose your job, you don\u2019t qualify for the program. It\u2019s somewhat more complicated than that, and there\u2019s a lot more detail on both our Atlanta pages, and then we send you on to the Atlanta Housing Authority with more detailed information.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, we had a user question come in earlier today, and Sylvia asks about having to live and work in Atlanta to apply. There is \u2013 you know, you don\u2019t have to be in Atlanta; there is no local preference and we pointedly asked that question of Shean Atkins in our Google Hangout video, and he highlights the fact that you don\u2019t have to be a local resident; local residents don\u2019t receive any kind priority over nonlocal residents, but you have to have a job. So the answer to your question, no, you don\u2019t have to live in Atlanta, but really \u2013 you have to have a full time job.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s move on to the next waiting list that\u2019s opening. Another fairly large city is Salt Lake City. They\u2019re opening their waiting list on January 8th at 8am. It\u2019s being opened for an underdetermined period of time; they have not announced the closing date. We\u2019ll try and keep tabs on that and update Salt Lake City pages as we learn that. The current wait time is approximately 5 years for Salt Lake City. It\u2019s an online application, and actually, I think they\u2019re allowing some in person applications, as well. You can get all the details of that on our Salt Lake pages.<\/p>\n<p>On to Oregon; Deschutes County, Oregon is opening on January 12th \u2013 they close on January 16th. It\u2019s an online only application, and that program serves Deschutes County, and it includes the cities of Bend, Redmond, Sisters, La Pine, Prineville, Madras \u2013 hopefully I didn\u2019t butcher the pronunciations on those names. If you\u2019re from Oregon, and I did, my apologies.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve got a few programs in Florida, other than Sarasota, to mention \u2013 they are somewhat smaller. But we get a lot of folks on our Facebook page and in email asking about Florida waiting lists. So, we\u2019re just going to briefly mention each one, and then you can go to the waiting list page and find those listed. But Crestview Housing Authority opens on the 12th. It\u2019s open until the 23rd. The Housing Authority of Springfield will open from the 13-22nd. I think Springfield is adjacent to Panama City, if I\u2019m not mistaken, so it\u2019s near a larger metropolitan area. Deland Housing Authority is going to open from 16th of January to the 18th, and Flagler County Housing Authority is going to be open briefly on January 20th until their application quota is met. So, if you live in Florida, or are interested in moving to Florida, you might want to go check the \u2013 our open waiting list page for the Florida programs.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, I want to touch on Spokane, Washington. It opens on January 26th at 10am, and closes at 3 on the 30th. It\u2019s an online only application. They\u2019re going to select 600 applications by random lottery. Applicants who applied to the 2014 opening must reapply for the 2015 opening; you won\u2019t be added to the waiting list if you applied last year. So make sure that if you weren\u2019t selected in that lottery, you make sure you go ahead and reapply this year. And a link to check the status of your 2014 waiting list is available on our Spokane pages.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve got other upcoming waiting lists openings to tell you about on our website; I won\u2019t go into detail on some of the smaller programs in this Hangout, but you can find them all on our open Section 8 waiting lists page. Lastly, I have a few questions from our users, and we really enjoy helping out our users. We answer lots and lots of questions on our Facebook page, and if you have a question right now on Facebook and you haven\u2019t got an answer, we apologize \u2013 short staffed during the holidays, we probably have about 100-120 questions sitting there waiting to be answered; but we\u2019re working on those. But I\u2019m going to try to answer a couple of those questions right now in the Hangout, so I\u2019ll jump right in.<\/p>\n<p>One of them was, if I have a voucher, which I\u2019m using to rent an apartment, can I move to a new apartment in the same city \u2013 what are the limitations? And, the answer is yes, you can move within the same city with your voucher \u2013 in fact, you can move across the country with a voucher, but there\u2019s always certain rules. I\u2019m not going to talk about moving across the country, because that\u2019s a deeper process called portability, but I\u2019ll talk about moving from one apartment in the same city to another apartment. And, you know, that\u2019s perfectly okay. It\u2019s called the Housing Choice Voucher Program because HUD and Congress, when they created the program, wanted the users to have a choice in where they lived. So, you can choose your neighborhood; you can choose where you live under certain restrictions. So, for one, the apartment obviously has to meet the Housing Authority\u2019s requirements on physical standards, it has to meet a certain inspection, it has to be at a certain rent level, and there\u2019s some other nuances. If you currently have a lease on an apartment using the voucher program, you really are \u2013 and you have a lease that you can\u2019t get out of for say, 6 months say it\u2019s a 12 month lease and you\u2019re 6 months in, and you want to move \u2013 I would suggest you not break the lease especially if there\u2019s no cause for breaking the lease, because it could possibly \u2013 I\u2019m not going to say it always will be a problem with the Housing Authority and potentially losing your voucher \u2013 but it could possibly cause problems for you, if that landlord wanted to fight you breaking the lease. It could end up affecting your voucher. So, I wouldn\u2019t recommend breaking the lease unless you can negotiate some deal with the landlord, where they\u2019re happy, and there\u2019s no conflict there. And then the other \u2013 and I\u2019m sure there\u2019s plenty of other reasons that might stop you from moving from one apartment to the other \u2013 but the other possibility is if you\u2019re trying to move to an apartment property that has, for example, project based Section 8. They have to use that Section 8 with each of the apartment units there, which means that if you were to, say, come up on the waiting lists for ABC Apartments in Denver, and they have a Section 8 project based certificate that goes along with that property, then when you go to move in there, you don\u2019t need your voucher anymore. There\u2019s already Section 8 associated with that apartment. The problem with that is that, you\u2019re going to have to \u2013 you\u2019d have to give up your voucher to move into that property. You couldn\u2019t use that voucher to pay for rent at that property. So, that could be a problem \u2013 and most people \u2013 vouchers are such a rare commodity \u2013 most people wouldn\u2019t want to give a voucher up to do that. So, that\u2019s that question.<\/p>\n<p>Two more, real quick.<\/p>\n<p>Can a voucher be transferred to my children? We hear this quite often, and I think there\u2019s a misconception that you can. In fact, you can\u2019t transfer a voucher to your children, or anyone else for that matter. Section 8 vouchers are issued to you and only you. Your kids can\u2019t inherit them; you can\u2019t decide that you\u2019re going to move out and give them the voucher, \u2018cause they were living with you and when they turned 18 you\u2019re going to hand it over to them. I\u2019m not aware of any mechanism that you can do that within the regulation. So, the simple answer is no, you can\u2019t transfer a voucher to your children.<\/p>\n<p>And then, the last question is at what age can dependents apply for Section 8 on their own? The simple age is 18. Every housing authority has a minimum age requirement to apply for Section 8, and that\u2019s 18. But most \u2013 and this may actually be a federal regulation, we\u2019d have to clarify \u2013 but there is one caveat, and that is if the child is emancipated, which through legal process, someone under 18 could legally be considered independent \u2013 so the answer to the question is, they have got to be 18 or emancipated to qualify.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>So, that\u2019s today\u2019s Section 8 update. Again, go to our Facebook page and our website to get more information on a bunch of other openings that I didn\u2019t talk about. And I want everyone to have a great holiday, and a Happy New Year. We\u2019ll try and do another one of these next week and touch on more details. So, anyways, thanks again for watching, and thanks for using Affordable Housing online. I hope we brought you a little bit closer to home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Hi! Welcome to our Google Hangout.
