I have no idea why this place has 4 stars here. I came here twice asking some questions about my housing application. First time, both the receptionist and the person who came out to talk to me were super nice and polite. Second time, which was this morning 10/26/2018, the receptionist (a different one) was super rude. She misunderstood my question yet kept repeating her answer which didn't address my concern at all. Although I calmly reiterated my question, she still failed to understand and even went as far as rolling her eyes, raising her voice, and expressing that she was annoyed. I understood that she could probably be overworked and tired, but if she were to be a little bit more incompetent from the beginning she wouldn't have had to get annoyed out of her ignorance. I did not expect to be treated like or king or anything like that since we're asking for assistance, but as a grown adult, have some manner.

Are you a veteran? If not call Orange county housing in Santa Ana n tell someone your situation there. If you are a veteran or one will be living w you, you need to get ahold of VA HASH . Let me know if you cannot find #s. They are terrific there n REALLY care.

Do you have to be homeless to get section 8 or disabled or both?

Megan Scott | Aug 21, 2018

Thise are both qualifying factors. But the main requirement is that your income meets certain standards. There are income limits based on household size.. Your best bet is to call the front desk at the hud office in santa ana and ask what the income guidelines are. If you are disabled and recieving Ssi or ssdi benefits you most likely will qualify to recieve hud...

I want to know information about eviction. It is lawful to evict a tenant who has lived in an apartment for 5 years without any delay of his/her monthly rent?

Jasha Anderson | Aug 21, 2018

You should search on Google for eviction laws in your state or perhaps talk to a lawyer. This is just a public board for people who want to ask questions about this Orange County Section 8 location. Furthermore, most people who answer questions on your will not be professionals.

A Social Worker from a local city Senior Service group, or from a hospital or nursing home could help you find and apply for housing and other services. There is help available for seniors.

Hi, I am 67 years old and would like to retire but affordable housing is the main obstacle. Is it possible to rent anapartment now that will adjust once I retire at half if my current income?

Jasha Anderson | Aug 21, 2019

That's a question you should ask section 8 directly. Find out if they have options for seniors. when you ask questions on this platform it does not go directly to the Orange county section 8 office. This is a platform made for customers to ask other customers questions. Therefore, your question may not get answered properly here.

I was appreciative of Mercy House when they've assisted me to obtain my Section 8 voucher. As you know I told them that I was also on OCHA waiting list prior to awarding me of the tenant housing voucher. Mercy House has been so helpful in the progress of my application and grateful to them. Thank you!

Are you allowed to move from the place you currently reside to another place that accommodates you better than your current place? What do you need to do?

Arnold Higareda | Aug 20, 2021
veronica pena | Aug 20, 2021

You have to first make sure the new place accepts your voucher then call your worker and they'll give you another # to call so it can be checked out if it will pass or not. If it passes then you give your 30 day notice and give a copy to your worker of your 30 day notice.

How do I get a tenant evicted for child neglect and selling methamphetamine?

Trevor Wald | Aug 21, 2018
Megan Scott | Aug 21, 2018

You cant based just on accusations. If you think the child is in danger and you know for a fact that the adults around the child are participating in active drug use and sales call your local police department and report them child services will step in and their subsequent arrest for sales of methamphetamines will give the owner of the building just cause to give them a 30 day notice or relieve them of their responsibility to a lease. If you dont want to call the police cal the child abuse hotlines 24 hr number and report the parents that way. Nature will still take its course as child services has to investigate these kinds of allegations. They most likely will bring a police escort for this. Any questions?

Hi, go to the housing authority And ask for your workers supervisor. I have the same problem with my worker. Not with rent. She's just not a very nice person. I went today spoke to the receptionist in the office and explained that I want to talk with my workers supervisor. He called today and was very helpful.

Are there any apartments that work with evictions?

Janine Northen | Aug 21, 2018
michael west | Aug 21, 2018

Yes, unfortunately there is no list. You just have to talk to individual landlords. I found one that accepted me even with an eviction. Your best bet is to be completely honest and upfront so you don't waste your time or theirs. Also, large apartment complexes almost never accept someone with an eviction. Smaller apartment buildings are much more likely to work with you.

I have a Section 8 Housing Certificate and the expiration date is in March. Does this mean you have to be completely moved in by this time?

Bernadette Peters | Aug 21, 2018
Megan Scott | Aug 21, 2018

You have to have a tra submitted by this time. If you havent had an extension given to you already. You can ask your worker for one if you fear you wont be able to find a place by the expiration of your certificate. I believe they will give you at least 90 more days at that point but call your worker and verify this. Hope this helps love...
