Section 8 take care of people that are a high risk , like single mothers that are trying to get away from an abusive b/f or husband . My niece tried to get section 8, she has Asperger and was told the wait was going to very long b/c they took care single mothers first. I told my sister this would happen. There is a horrible shortage of low in come housing in my state.
