Mr. Sluss. Sec. 8 Voucher assistance is offerred by Milwaukee County, City of Milwaukee, and I believe, also the City of West Allis. I do not have the application forms for those programs. You must contact the Housing Assistance Providers that Administer them. I would suggest that you contact the city of West Allis directly for this information.

I’m renting an apartment from the Metropolitan Associates Co. in Milwaukee, WI. It is Lake Forest Apartments, in Oak Creek, WI. I need to move back into West Allis, WI. Two years ago, I was evicted from my apartment because of a medical problem and I never had the chance to explain myself and get the proper help to correct the problem I had. I have been here for two years. I’m much too far from my family and my support network. I’m an older man and I have had several accidents recently, which prevented me from taking proper care of myself recently. I do have SSDI and additional support. However, the buildings that are allowing me to make application say that I need to apply for a voucher through the county of Milwaukee. Do I request an application from you? There are several new buildings that opened up but they are asking that I apply for this voucher. If you would be able to send me an application for the voucher, I’d appreciate this very much.

Ms. Quiles — You should contact your local HUD office or look at their website to find out the procedures for Sec. 8 housing. If you are interested in the Sec. 8 voucher program then you should contact the local Housing Assistance Providers that operate the Sec. 8 voucher program. As far ans I know the City of Milwaukee has a Sec. 8 voucher program as does Milwaukee COunty and West Allis. I must admit that I do not know much more about how to enroll.

Section 8 is a Federal program which is administered locally.
The way it works is the qualifying tenant pays a maximum of 30% of their gross income to the landlord, The landlord has to agree to accept the rest of the rent payment from section 8.
Works similarly for mortgage and home ownership.
