Section 8

Iowa

By Anna Smith

Section 8 Iowa is a federally funded program established to provide housing assistance for families with low or extremely low income. The importance of the Section 8 government program has been proven by its steady popularity among the Iowans. Securing safe and affordable housing is a critical role that the government can play in satisfying the most basic and crucial needs of the state residents.

Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program specifies that low-income households are obliged to use 30% of their adjusted gross income as rental payments. This amount (adjusted gross income) is calculated by subtracting the basic living expenses and a rental payment from the gross income generated in the household. The rest 70% of the rental payments are covered by the Housing Choice Voucher Program.

If you are participating in Section 8, and your income changes, you are to notify the housing authorities about that because the amount of the housing assistance depends directly on the generated income. The housing authority will review your new data and adjust the amount of assistance in rental payment accordingly.

What is the income limit for Section 8 housing in Iowa? In Iowa, income limits are not the same throughout the state.
