The Section 8 Application Form is a crucial document for individuals seeking assistance through the Federal Housing Choice Voucher Program. This program aims to provide safe and affordable housing for very low-income households by allowing qualified applicants to pay a portion of their income toward rent, with the remainder covered by New Hampshire Housing. Completing the application accurately is essential for access to this vital support, so take the next step and fill out the form by clicking the button below.
The Section 8 Application form, also known as the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Application, is an essential document for individuals seeking assistance through the Federal Housing Choice Voucher Program. This program aims to provide very low-income households with safe and affordable housing. As part of the application process, applicants must provide details about their annual income, including verification of Social Security numbers for all household members, and confirm they meet certain eligibility requirements set by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Income thresholds must not exceed 50% of the area median income limit. The application also includes sections that address household members' backgrounds, including any criminal activity that might disqualify them from receiving assistance. These considerations ensure a commitment to a safe environment for all residents. The application requires the legal head of household and spouse or co-head to sign, affirming the accuracy of the provided information. Additionally, a reasonable accommodation section allows for modifications to assist individuals with disabilities throughout the application process. Notably, communication is critical; those applying must report any changes to their contact information while on the waiting list, as this affects their chances of being contacted regarding voucher availability.
Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Section 8 Application
What is the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher?
The goal of the Federal Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) is to provide safe, decent, sanitary, and affordable housing to very low-income households. Through the program, a qualified household pays a portion of their adjusted income toward rent and utilities, and New Hampshire Housing pays the remainder directly to the landlord. The rental unit is selected by the household and must meet certain housing quality standards.
The estimated waiting time for a voucher is based on the number of people on the waiting list, the availability of vouchers, and an applicant’s preference status.
To qualify for the HCV Program, you must

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development maintains a national repository of debts owed to Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) or Section 8 landlords and adverse information of former participants who have voluntarily or involuntarily terminated participation in one of the above-listed HUD rental assistance programs. This information is maintained within HUD’s Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) system, which is used by Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) and their management agents to verify employment and income information of program participants, as well as, to reduce administrative and rental assistance payment errors. The EIV system is designed to assist PHAs and HUD in ensuring that families are eligible to participate in HUD rental assistance programs and determining the correct amount of rental assistance a family is eligible for. All PHAs are required to use this system in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 5.233.
HUD requires PHAs, which administers the above-listed rental housing programs, to report certain information at the conclusion of your participation in a HUD rental assistance program. This notice provides you with information on what information the PHA is required to provide HUD, who will have access to this information, how this information is used and your rights.

2.Whether or not you have entered into a repayment agreement for the amount that you owe the PHA; and
3.Whether or not you have defaulted on a repayment agreement; and
4.Whether or not the PHA has obtained a judgment against you; and

Who will have access to the information collected?
This information will be available to HUD employees, PHA employees, and contractors of HUD and PHAs.
How will this information be used?
PHAs will have access to this information during the time of application for rental assistance and reexamination of family income and composition for existing participants. PHAs will be able to access this information to determine a family’s suitability for initial or continued rental assistance, and avoid providing limited Federal housing assistance to
families who have previously been unable to comply with HUD program requirements. If the reported information is accurate, a PHA may terminate your current rental assistance and deny your future request for HUD rental assistance, subject to PHA policy.
How long is the debt owed and termination information maintained in EIV?
Debt owed and termination information will be maintained in EIV for a period of up to ten (10) years from the end of participation date or such other period consistent with State Law.
What are my rights?
In accordance with the Federal Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 USC 552a) and HUD regulations pertaining to its implementation of the Federal Privacy Act of 1974 (24 CFR Part 16), you have the following rights:
1.To have access to your records maintained by HUD, subject to 24 CFR Part 16.
2.To have an administrative review of HUD’s initial denial of your request to have access to your records maintained by HUD.
3.To have incorrect information in your record corrected upon written request.
4.To file an appeal request of an initial adverse determination on correction or amendment of record request within 30 calendar days after the issuance of the written denial.
5.To have your record disclosed to a third party upon receipt of your written and signed request.
What do I do if I dispute the debt or termination information reported about me?
If you disagree with the reported information, you should contact in writing the PHA who has reported this information about you. The PHA’s name, address, and telephone numbers are listed on the Debts Owed and Termination Report.
You have a right to request and obtain a copy of this report from the PHA. Inform the PHA why you dispute the information and provide any documentation that supports your dispute. HUD's record retention policies at 24 CFR Part 908 and 24 CFR Part 982 provide that the PHA may destroy your records three years from the date your participation in the program ends. To ensure the availability of your records, disputes of the original debt or termination information must be made within three years from the end of participation date; otherwise the debt and termination information will be presumed correct. Only the PHA who reported the adverse information about you can delete or correct your record.
Your filing of bankruptcy will not result in the removal of debt owed or termination information from HUD’s EIV system. However, if you have included this debt in your bankruptcy filing and/or this debt has been discharged by the bankruptcy court, your record will be updated to include the bankruptcy indicator, when you provide the PHA with documentation of your bankruptcy status.
The PHA will notify you in writing of its action regarding your dispute within 30 days of receiving your written dispute. If the PHA determines that the disputed information is incorrect, the PHA will update or delete the record. If the PHA determines that the disputed information is correct, the PHA will provide an explanation as to why the information is correct.

The information collection requirements contained in this form were submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The public reporting burden is estimated at 15 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Section 644 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 13604) imposed on HUD the obligation to require housing providers participating in HUD’s assisted housing programs to provide any individual or family applying for occupancy in HUD-assisted housing with the option to include in the application for occupancy the name, address, telephone number, and other relevant information of a family member, friend, or person associated with a social, health, advocacy, or similar organization.

This supplemental application information is to be maintained by the housing provider and maintained as confidential information. Providing the information is basic to the operations of the HUD Assisted-Housing Program and is voluntary.

Completing the Section 8 Application form is an important step toward securing housing assistance. You will need to provide various details about yourself and your household as part of this process. Once you have filled out the application, you can submit it to the appropriate agency, and they will review your information.
The Federal Housing Choice Voucher Program, commonly known as Section 8, aims to provide safe, decent, and affordable housing for very low-income households. Participants pay a portion of their adjusted income for rent and utilities, while the remaining costs are covered directly by New Hampshire Housing. The housing unit must be chosen by the household and must meet specified housing quality standards.
To qualify for the Housing Choice Voucher Program, applicants must meet several criteria:
It is important to keep track of your application status. If an application confirmation letter is not received within 30 days, applicants should call 1-800-439-7247 to verify their application status. Providing a proper mailing address is crucial for receiving communications from New Hampshire Housing.
Applicants must notify New Hampshire Housing immediately if their contact information changes. The waiting list is updated yearly, and failure to maintain accurate contact details may result in application inactivation. If inactivated, applicants will need to reapply for the program.
A Reasonable Accommodation allows individuals with disabilities to participate fully in the Housing Choice Voucher program. This may include modifications to standard policies and procedures. New Hampshire Housing responds to accommodation requests within 30 days. Applicants can request a form by calling 1-800-439-7247 or visiting the New Hampshire Housing website.
When filling out the Section 8 application form, many people make mistakes that can affect their eligibility for assistance. One common mistake is leaving questions blank. Every section of the application is important, and failing to provide answers can lead to delays or even denials. If a question does not apply, simply write “none” instead of skipping it entirely. Ensuring all questions are addressed helps the processing team understand your situation better.
Another frequent error is not completing the verification of income section accurately. Many applicants underestimate the importance of reporting their gross income. Make sure to provide the yearly gross income for all household members prior to taxes. This information will be scrutinized during the application review, and reporting it incorrectly can have significant consequences. Be precise and truthful; it's crucial for your qualifying status.
Many people also forget to double-check their contact information. Keeping your contact details up to date is essential. If you're placed on a waiting list and your information changes without notice, you risk being removed from consideration. Whenever you move or change your phone number, communicate those changes to New Hampshire Housing immediately.
Signing the application without understanding the implications can be a costly mistake. By signing, applicants certify that the information provided is true and complete.

The Section 8 Application form is an important step for households seeking rental assistance through the Housing Choice Voucher Program. Along with this main application, there are several other documents often required to facilitate the process. These forms help verify eligibility, ensure compliance with program regulations, and gather necessary personal information. Below is a list of commonly required documents.
Together, these documents support the application process by providing essential information about the household. Completing these forms accurately enables applicants to present their case clearly, helping to ensure a smooth eligibility determination. For any specific requirements or additional inquiries, it's advisable to reach out to local housing authority representatives.

Public Housing Application: This document is used for applying for public housing, which, like the Section 8 application, helps determine if individuals qualify for subsidized housing based on income and other criteria.
Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Application: Much like the Section 8 Application, the LIHEAP application seeks to verify income levels and household size to determine eligibility for financial assistance with home heating and energy costs.
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Application: This form is also similar in that it requires disclosures related to income, household composition, and eligibility criteria to provide nutritional assistance to low-income households.
Medicaid Application: Both use similar criteria to assess financial need, capturing detailed information about income and household members in order to qualify individuals for medical assistance.
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Application: Like the Section 8 Application, this document evaluates applicants' financial situations and household details to determine eligibility for cash assistance and support services.

While it’s true there may be a waiting list, the estimated wait time varies. Factors include the number of applicants and availability of vouchers. Staying informed and checking in regularly can help you understand your status on the list.
Some believe that the program only serves specific households. In reality, Section 8 is open to a wide range of families, including single individuals and those in need of housing assistance. What matters most is meeting the income and eligibility criteria.
All information you provide is crucial. Keeping your application accurate and updated ensures you remain on the waiting list. If your contact information changes, for example, promptly notifying the housing authority can protect your application from being inactive.
1. Complete the Application Fully: Ensure you answer all questions without leaving any blanks. If a question does not apply, write "none." Remember to check all Yes or No questions.

4. Understand Eligibility Requirements: Familiarize yourself with the income limits, verification needs, and occupancy rules before applying. This will help you determine if you qualify for the program.
5. Request Reasonable Accommodations: If you have a disability, you may request modifications to participate in the program. New Hampshire Housing must respond to your request within 30 days.
