Section 8 Housing is a federal program in the United States designed to help low-income families afford safe and decent housing. It provides rental assistance through vouchers, which subsidize a portion of the rent, allowing participants to pay only a portion of their income towards housing costs. Eligible families can choose their housing from privately owned apartments or homes, as long as the property meets certain safety and quality standards. The program aims to reduce homelessness and improve living conditions for those in need, promoting stability and self-sufficiency among participants.
