Eligibility for the Non-Elderly Disabled (NED) Voucher program is almost identical to the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program. The main difference is that Non-Elderly Disabled Vouchers are for non-elderly disabled persons.
To qualify for a Non-Elderly Disabled Voucher, the household must meet the following conditions:
There are some basic requirements for admission that are set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Persons who are 62 years old and above are considered elderly, and are not eligible for Non-Elderly Disabled Vouchers.
If a household member other than the head of household, co-head or spouse meets the disability and age requirements, they will not qualify for a Non-Elderly Disabled Voucher.
This is different from the Mainstream Voucher Program, which allows any household member to qualify for these conditions. For more information, read the Mainstream Voucher Guide.
Now that the basic requirements have been checked, an application must be submitted to a housing authority with an open waiting list.
Applying for housing with bad credit.
Most HUD housing programs, like Section 8 and Public Housing, do not have a credit check. But Section 8 landlords will likely require one for an available unit.Lisa Selby says:
"After years of applying for Section 8 and never being called, this website is the reason I finally received my voucher, and just moved into my new apartment! If I had not started receiving alerts from Affordable Housing Online of waiting list openings in my area, I would not be where I am today!"
