What is Section 8?

Section 8 is a HUD subsidized program, also referred to as "Housing Choice Vouchers", "Vouchers", or "HAP" (housing assistance payment). This is a program which enables families to secure their own private housing. The Housing Authority currently has 537 vouchers. Applications are placed on a waiting list.

Applications

When application enrollment is opened, the public will be notified by the Greenville Daily Reflector.  Applicants for residency may visit the Section 8 Rental Assistance Office located at 1722 West 5th Street, Greenville, NC.  Applicants should bring information on income, social security numbers, address, and telephone number where they can be reached.

When applicants are selected to receive assistance, they will be invited to an interview to verify their income and assets. They will need to furnish birth certificates and social security cards for all family members. Criminal reports must also be provided for every family member age 18 and over, available from the Clerk of Court’s office.

Waiting List

The average wait for housing is approximately one year. Once an application is complete, applicants must keep it active by updating changes in income, family size or in address or phone number.
