FWIU they are the same thing but different programs in different states. I don't think you can pick which one to get- in NJ it would be HUD. Other places- Section 8.
There is a very long waiting list especially for section 8 and in some places they're not accepting new applications.

If you live in New Jersey it's called hud. From time to time they open for more cases and I see it in the newspaper. I don't know more then that.

THe department of Housing and Urban development(HUD) issues grants for vouchers to the states. This is called section 8 of whatever law it is. Same thing

Google local HUD offices and start calling all those in your area. If you have no income (as in recently lost a job or whatever) you can get temporary assistance in some cases.

Call and ask. Sometimes they do have some funds available.
