The 101 of Section 8 Housing

Learn how Section 8 works in San Diego, how to apply, what to expect, and where to find help while you wait—especially for families and adults with disabilities.

Struggling to understand how Section 8 housing really works—or what your options are while you wait? This special presentation hosted by EFRC and offered by the San Diego Housing Commission was created specifically for families of individuals with disabilities who need long-term support and stable housing.

In this session, you’ll learn what Section 8 actually covers, how rent is calculated (including lower rates for disabled households), and what you need to do to apply and maintain your place on the long waitlist. You will also learn about other housing programs—like project-based and public housing—that may have different timelines and requirements.
