What is going to happen or not happen with 2 year ABWD time limit?

Aarol

I have read on many websites that there will be a 2 year time limit for project based voucher and/or section 8 vouchers for people that are able bodied without dependants, similar to what they are planning on doing with medicaid.

However, I have not received any official notice about this rule being implemented. And if it is, what if you have already been on a voucher subsidy for 1 year and 11 months, will you then have to move out next month? does the 2 year limit start from when your lease started?

Really confused about this and has brought me a great deal of anxiety. Can’t get a CLEAR answer about this anywhere. Does anyone know about the time limit for housing vouchers?

It has not been implemented yet. It is currently only a proposal at this point.

Google Section 8 2 year limit and read the new Associated Press news story on the issue.

So many different answers from different places for this topic.

Nobody knows for sure if the 2-year “Able-Bodied Without Dependents” (ABWD) Section 8 voucher time limit is coming, but if you haven’t received an official letter, you’re as safe as a sock in the laundry (still unpaired, but not kicked out yet). No eviction countdown has started, so relax and keep your socks and your lease on for now!

Right now, the 2 year ABWD time limit for Section 8 vouchers is like Bigfoot lots of people claim they’ve seen it coming, but there’s no official proof and it hasn’t shown up at your door.

If you haven’t gotten an official notice, you’re not moving out faster than your landlord running from a rent increase.

Relax nothing’s happening yet!
