Section 8

[katelyn_rodriguez]

I live in New Hampshire and I don't really know how it works. My fiancé n I are trying to move out of his mothers house. He is the only one bringing money in between him and I he doesn't make much and we have two dogs that absolutely have to go with us when we move otherwise his mom will put them downs does section 8 allow dogs? How does it work.

I already have food stamps and Wic now I just need a place to live. Sick of living win this house. It needs so much work and everytime I move something around I find mold so I'm done with this house. Need somewhere else to live before my daughter is born. I'm 37+ 3days so don't have long.

The more you know the better you can advocate for you and that baby!  I would look into any and all of your options! But it can be a Pain in the butt dealing with state assistance :(

I know it can be hard when you are unsure what anything like that is called I had to Google too lol
:-)

[Alkhall]

Oh no I didn't mean it like that :)
You can always Google your city and their "assistant housing programs" and check into food "stamps" too "WIC"  Government insurance as well just put in your city and see what you can find :))

Thanks ladies and yeah I know I can do my own research but half the time I don't know what I'm looking for. Sorry.

Government Assistance will give you so much money depending on your income and situation... They usually will pay directly to the land Lord you will have a say in where you go like aria but not all landlords except it... They might give you a list of apartments and housing that do except it though be careful where you choice too depending on what kind of environment you are ok with for your baby.
Good luck and remember you can do your own research by Google! :-) happy pregnancy to u as well!!

I'm sure you could find some low income housing..most towns have apartments that charge rent on a sliding scale would you only pay a certain percent of your income

[katelyn_rodriguez]

I thought section 8 gave you the place to live. I'm only 18 I know nothing....ugh

The owner of the house decides if they want to rent to section 8. They also decided if they want you 2 have animals in the house. The housing authority only deals with the money issues.

[ellivin]

Section 8 just gives you a certain amount of money for rent...you still would have to get approval from who ever your renting from be it a apartment complex or a land lord, they would be the ones to decide if you can have animals.
