Georgians in 149 counties can soon apply for housing subsidies for the first time since 2021. The Georgia Department of Community Affairs says it will take online applications for its Housing Choice Voucher program from Oct. 17 through Oct. 20. The program, formerly known as Section 8, provides money to low-income families to rent an apartment or house. Spokesperson Kristen Moses says the state is seeking to enroll 5,000 applicants. The agency placed 633 applicants in the 2021-2022 budget year.

The Georgia Department of Community Affairs announced last week that it would take online applications for its Housing Choice Voucher program beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Oct. 17 and continuing through 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 20.

After the state approves applicants as eligible, it will use a lottery to randomly rank the order in which applicants will receive assistance. The agency placed 633 applicants in the 2021-2022 budget year. The list had been closed since 2021 because of the high number of people already waiting.
