    I've been applying for housing assistance for many years. Always being denied. I had a section 8 voucher many years ago and couldn't find and apt. My landlord didn't want to take mine, but he took the voucher from a white couple. This man has know me since i was 10 years old. I've watched girls grow up that i used to babysit, have their own children and get section 8,and other assistance and i can't get any thing. This is not fair at all, i deserve a chance to better myself and not have to struggle so much. Please help me and others like me who really deserve the help. Please

Apartment Checklist
Check For Waiting Lists
Most apartments have waiting lists. Search early and do not just settle on one apartment choice.

Contact Your Local Housing Authority
Housing authorities have many opportunities. Many do have closed waiting lists, but they may be able to provide other public housing resources.

Check The Federal Poverty Sliding Scale Guidelines
Check to see if you qualify for low cost or free housing by comparing the guidelines to your income records.
