Section 8 housing, also known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program, is a federal government program that helps low-income families afford rent. The program provides vouchers to families, which they can use to pay rent to private landlords. The amount of the voucher is based on the family's income and the cost of rent in the area.

To apply for Section 8 housing, you must first contact your local Public Housing Agency (PHA). The PHA is the agency that administers the program in your area. You can find a list of PHAs on the HUD website.

Once you have contacted your PHA, they will provide you with an application form. The application form will ask for information about your income, your family size, and your housing needs. You will also need to provide proof of your income and your identity.

After you have submitted your application, the PHA will review it and determine if you are eligible for the program. If you are eligible, you will be placed on a waiting list. The length of the waiting list varies from area to area.
