This is the full name of section 8 housing, which is a federal housing assistance program for low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled that helps them rent or lease reasonably priced, modest, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. It is overseen at the local level by Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) and funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Through the program, housing vouchers help pay for a portion of a tenant's rent; the rest of the rent is based on tenant income.
