CharlieSalvatore Do I need more than just my ID and charm to apply for Section 8, or do they want actual paperwork too?
Ronald CharlieSalvatore Unfortunately, charm alone won’t cut it, Section 8 isn’t Tinder. You’ll need proof of income, ID, Social Security stuff, maybe bank statements, and a whole bunch of patience. Bring your paperwork game, not just your good looks.
Yongkang ChamsterXC Both. They want to make sure you’re not secretly driving a Bentley to your Section 8 interview. So yes, bring pay stubs, bank statements, and anything else that says, “Relax, I’m broke but qualified.”
Mollywest CR7FanBase Bring the birth certificates. Showing up with just the actual kids proves you're a parent, not a time traveler. Bureaucracy wants paperwork, not proof of life.
Mollywest Uniberly Not everyone, just the adults usually. Kids don’t need an ID unless they're secretly applying for a loan. But birth certificates help if you’re proving family size or dependents. Bring those, not their report cards.
Mollywest You’ll need ID, Social Security cards, birth certificates, proof of income, bank statements, lease or utility bill, and any immigration docs. Basically, everything short of your high school yearbook.
MoodsterFantom After doing the application for section8 or public housing, do you provide proof of income or identity when they select you for the list?
Yongkang MoodsterFantom Yeah, NYCHA as in “the projects” New York City Housing Authority. The second program usually means Section 8, which is like NYCHA’s cousin who gives you a voucher instead of an apartment. One gives you a unit, the other helps you rent one. Same city, same waiting list headache.
Mollywest You would need to go to to their state website of housing to see if their waitlist is open and accepting applications.
