Not just anyone can apply for Albuquerque public housing assistance. The section 8 housing and apartment voucher program is set on a sliding scale that indexes the number of people in your family compared to your income level. For example if you had a family of 5 in Albuquerque and made less than $29,250 you would be eligible for public housing assistance.
With the overall New Mexico and US economy struggling there is a huge demand for apartment vouchers and public housing assistance. Don't get too frustrated because assistance is still available you just may have to wait a while to get it. If you have been uprooted from your home by a disaster or some form of governmental intervention, then you can recieve priority in the list. If you are trying to attend school or have a welfare to work program or suffer from sort of disability, then you also can receive preference in the list for receiving assisted housing.
Section 8 vouchers are accepted in the Albuquerque housing program. These vouchers can be used at homes and apartments throughout the entire area at places that accept them. Before you can move in the Housing Authority must inspect the location to make sure it meets a minimum level of quality and is acceptable for you to move in. After the location has passed the Authority's test then it checks to ensure the rent level is appropriate and fair based on the average of all other rents charged in Albuquerque. As part of the program you will typically have to pay about 30% of your income towards rent and then the home owner receives the rest of the rent from the Housing Authority.
Landlords should also be aware of the Section 8 program in Albuquerque, so they can get reimbursed for additional rent if their tenants can't afford to apy. There are regular meetings to get Landlords up to speed and current on the latest laws and regulations - check in the Rental Assistance Section of the city website. Landlords can also voice any issues or concerns they have with the program, which helps smooth out their relationship with the Albuquerque Housing Authority.
