"I applied on September 2021 about then and then they called me and said I'm on the wait list also I could check online that my application is currently processing then nine months later they called me to come into the Section 8 office and said the next day an examiner will interview me and there was a date and time appointment over the phone they said they'll let me know said it usually takes about a month and in June 2022 they told me to come in and pick up my housing voucher. they gave me a list of places I can call that usually take Section 8 they said I have about a month to find a place using the list or any other means to find a place or I will have to reapply and wait till the Section 8 opens all over again. They said I can coordinate with my social worker to extend the month to two. My voucher said for one person is a studio, but the social worker said if the place is one bedroom and the price is under below the amount the zip code and price coverage, for example: then I can maybe have a 1 bedroom instead of a Studio in 96813 area pick one below $1,400 for that area and if it's a 1 bedroom for $1,400 or below, then I can possibly have that place, the social worker said sometimes its allowable?" -anonymous

"Section 8 they said takes up to three years, but I got it in nine months, so today it could be faster?" -anonymous.
