Housing Assistance

I worked in HUD Housing for few years, and yes there are different programs out there that may help you in your situation.  Specifically, Section 8 Rental Assistance (Housing Choice Voucher Program) and there's Public Housing.  IF you are already in the Section 8* HCV Program, and your income has decreased, and expenses increased...then you definately need to go to your office immediately, and have them recalculate your Tenant Portion of your rent.

Otherwise, you can visit the HUD website to locate the specific programs in your area here:
