Welcome

Vouchers, affordable, income‑restricted.Every step of the way, one place to get housed.

Find homes that take vouchers, or that you qualify for on income. When you choose one, we prepare, submit and follow the paperwork with the landlord and the housing authority, start to finish.

Free for renters, caseworkers and housing authorities. The landlord is the only one who pays us.

First — who are you?

Pick your path and we'll take it from here.

How it works

From “I need a home” to keys in hand

One guided path. We stay with you through every handoff to the housing authority.

No voucher yet? Start hereHow the voucher process works and which housing authorities serve where you want to live. Waiting lists are the authority's, often closed, and long; we say so up front.

The voucher track

  1. Step 1: Tell us about you

    Your voucher (or your income), bedroom size, and where you want to live.

  2. Step 2: You search

    Filter for homes that take your voucher and sit within your payment standard. You choose for yourself.

  3. Step 3: Visit & apply

    You pick the place. The landlord decides. We prepare the full application packet.

  4. Step 4: We push to the PHA

    We assemble and submit the Request for Tenancy Approval and paperwork to your public housing authority (PHA).

  5. Step 5: Inspect & move in

    The home passes inspection, the HAP contract is signed, and you get your keys.

Every packet, inspection, and status update is tracked by our team — you never chase the housing authority alone.

Your safety comes first — this stays confidential.

If you're fleeing domestic violence, trafficking or an unsafe situation, you never have to explain it on this website. We work directly with your caseworker, shelter or victim service provider, and your information is protected under VAWA confidentiality rules. VAWA also protects your right to housing: you can't be denied or evicted for being a survivor, and a voucher can move with you to a new area for safety.

Caseworkers and agencies: we take referrals directly. With your client's consent, we prepare the paperwork and the housing authority submission, and keep you copied on the file.

How approvals work

Screening and approvals

Who decides, and who does not.

Plainly

We move the paperwork and we hold the record. We do not make the decisions, and we cannot overturn them.

Who decides

01

Screening

Screened by

An independent screening provider

All applicant screening is performed by an independent screening provider, directly with the applicant. FindMySection8 does not perform screening, does not receive, review or store screening reports, does not score applicants, and does not decide who is approved or declined.

Our partWe don't screen or score

Rent and deposits never pass through us

FindMySection8 never collects, holds or disburses rent, deposits or application fees. Housing assistance payments go from the housing authority directly to the landlord. FindMySection8 never charges applicants, at any stage.

Our scope of services

What we do for each side

For renters

We get your paperwork through.

For landlords

We handle the housing authority for you.

For housing authorities

Complete packets, fewer callbacks.

For caseworkers and advocates

Your clients' files, without the chasing.

A Section 8 file is seen by the renter, the landlord, a caseworker the renter names, and senior staff at the renter's own housing authority. Every view is recorded. Nobody else.

And the landlord is the only one who ever pays us. Renters, caseworkers and housing authorities use it free.
