How do you file for low income housing in Los Angeles? I'm talking about renting a place.?

Don't make much money. One of us is full time at USC and I'm freelance. I'm pretty sure that complies with low income, but how do I sign up for this? Is there a specific program?

1. Hi... There are 2 different types of low income government rental assistance. 1. Section 8 - Its a voucher program where you choose an apartment that excepts this type of payment and the Section 8 voucher pays all or part of your rent. 2. HUD Housing- Is an apartment community or building that you apply to specifically (meaning you have to apply to the different apartment complexes individually) This is the site for Section 8 in Los Angeles specifically the page to apply for section 8 http://www.lacdc.org/CDCWebsite/AH/Applying.aspx?id=477 . When you go into apply for Section 8 you can ask them for a list of HUD Complexes as well. They will have this or if they dont they will be able to tell you where to go to get it. Not sure but be warned its usually a long waiting list for both. Now a suggestion... Look into Habitat for Humanity in your area. The Monthly payments end up to be about the same or less and in the end you have a beautiful NEW home to show for it thats all yours. Good Luck :)
2. Regarding Section 8 housing -- Unfortunately at this time, there are no applications offered since there is no city funds to subsidize new applicant housing.
