The truth is, the one who answers the calls, stand still in her bed, no breath to speak

My experience with Section 8 has been both good and then, questionable. My first worker was Teddie and she did her job impeccably well. Her attitude was one of tact and efficiency. She treated me with respect, as well as concern for safe, adequate housing for my son and I. However, when my time limit was up I ended up not able to afford the $800 rent. My landlord, appreciating me as a reliable, clean tenant reduced the rent to $650. A few months later he received an offer on his property he couldn't refuse and sold the house I had lived in for 8 years. I had no savings and ended up sleeping in my car for quite a long time. Homeless Alliance stepped in after almost two years and had my new Section 8 program expedited and I moved into an apt. During this process, I was in contact with my new Section 8 worker, Elsa. She was rude, brash, impatient and had no time to speak to me. She lacked customer service friendliness and tact. I heard so many complaints about her, both on a personal level but also through the many programs I had been referred to the past two years. The last two weeks Elsa spent at the Tulare Housing, she changed her demeanor to friendly and then promptly retired. A Mr. Perez has since taken her place since July 2020. He is a nice fellow and seems to genuinely enjoy his occupation. Section 8 is very much needed, especially nowadays, when rent is ridiculously too expensive to afford and on top of rent, all our utilities, gas, car maintenance, food, clothing and medical. I hope Section 8 improves in the very near future and drops the 30% of total income for rent payment down to 25%.

Everyone has to be approved. I had a Dr. Letter stating I needed help 24 hours a day after I had a stroke. When I got better then my daughter no longer stayed. Everything needs approval. Every case is different. Just ask anything you want and be honest. They are there to help us if you live in a house I'm sure it would be different. Where I live only couples and singles may live here since its a one bedroom.

Your housing authority can add you to the list of available properties as they become available. I was given a list of their complexes and then signed up for the ones I liked. You will be put on a waiting list. It took me 5 years and I was disabled as well as low income. It's not that easy to have someone live with you. If this was the case everyone's friends or family would be there. It's for couples and singles only. I had to get a doctor's order to have my daughter move in until I was much better after a stroke.

How long is the waiting list?

Robert Perez | Oct 6, 2019
Grace Mercy Campos Klatt | Oct 6, 2019

Any where from 2-10 years. Unless you can qualify under certain conditions that they offer. Which can put you in the 3 month waiting period.

What age can I apply for housing I am 56 years old?

Are you on social security or handicapped. This is why you need to call them directly. Different circumstances for everyone. One program is applying for a house or. Another for an apartment. Best to call or go in with your questions then you will know for sure. Good luck
