How to Transfer a Section 8 Voucher to Another State - Voucher Portability
If you're preparing to move to another state, you may wonder if your Section 8 voucher will go with you. With a voucher in hand, you'll be more likely to get affordable, safe housing in your new location. But although these vouchers are marked transferrable, you will need to take a few extra steps to use them in your new home state.
What Are Vouchers?
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development makes safe and sanitary housing affordable for low-income, disabled and elderly citizens under its Housing Choice Voucher program. Renters receive a voucher that they can transfer to any jurisdiction, whether in their state or across the nation. Public housing agencies, or PHAs, administer the program locally.
Your Local Housing Authority
Before you move, you must contact the PHA that issued the section 8 voucher for your current rental arrangement. The PHA will check your records to verify that your voucher is portable. You cannot transfer your voucher if you owe money to the PHA or if you have violated the agency's regulations.
Verifying the New Location
Once your local PHA verifies your portability, it will check for a PHA branch in the area to which you plan to move in the new state. You cannot transfer your voucher to an area where there is no PHA with a rental assistance program. If there is an agency in that jurisdiction, your local PHA will ensure that the qualifying requirements for the location are similar to the requirements for your current residence.
Transferring Your Voucher
Your local housing agency will provide you with the contact information for the branch in the new jurisdiction and tell you how to register for assistance at that location. Because you already have a voucher, it is not necessary for the new office to have you qualify for rental assistance again. Your local PHA will send the new agency your most recent HUD 50058 form (Family Report).
Rental Assistance with a Different PHA Branch
Each Public Housing Agency has different family size and income limits. Depending on the new PHA's policies, it may have to re-examine your information to determine the type of family unit for which you qualify and the amount of money you can receive. The agency may admit you into its housing program and cover your renting expenses if it has enough funds. If not, it will bill your expenses to the former agency, and you will continue to receive housing benefits from that PHA branch.

Trying to help my sister move from Philadelphia to North Carolina. This indeed was helpful

Ohhhh soo cool! I just got my apartment in Portland in February but I'm looking to move to Memphis. So thanks for the info :)
Any time! Jay with section8consulting.com/
At what point in the process do you give notice to current landlord, if you have not received your section 8 portable voucher? In addition, do you need to have a place to go, in place before giving notice and requesting your voucher? Is there a process by which you can request a priority status to qualify sooner at the out of state residence due to living in a dangerous, unsafe building with activity and have a disability?

Good Morning , it sounds like your porting to new area with your voucher, safe journey to ya.
I’ve been told to apply even though I don’t qualify because I’m on ssd and ssi. I took your advice and credit score is looking better! Thank you! I’m not sure what else I can do to prepare for this future venture. I know I need to figure out an area that will work with me. I’m not giving up and would appreciate any further advice to be ready to have a place of my own. Thank you!
You are awesome!! Great helpful information !

None that I'm aware of unless your displaced by disaster.
Hi I have a voucher and I want to transfer out of Colorado. I'm a ubereats driver I'm looking for a state where I still have work and the landlord is not discriminatory with my credit report and is not asking crazy amount of money to move in.
You will have better luck in January.
I want to move from Vermont to Tennessee before I have to sign a new lease I only have 27 days
If I’m going to port out will I be able to stay in my current apartment until the unit I want is ready, or once I port am I required to move out instantly? What if my current landlord wants a 60 day notice to vacate? Can it still be done?

I have had a mobile section 8 voucher since 2002 out of Quincy mass. If I’m disabled is that a problem?? I would love to move to the virgin islands even a cheap one. It is just myself. Quincy MA whereI have lived for the last 22 years is pretty expensive. I would love your help! Or if virgin island is too hard maybe remote village type Alaska.

This apartment because there's so many reasons why, I just want to live again before it's too late. Mine's over in Rockland Pembroke Mass voucher, they did something weird from the beginning and I can't figure it out

Awesome! Thank you!
Your most welcome!
I'm looking for information on moving to a new state when requesting a vawa emergency transfer from a LIHTC unit.
Hey what’s that?
@@taneshasweatt7721 Low Income Housing Tax Credit property. Falls under the VAWA umbrella but it isn't subsidized. It is a tax credit deal through the IRS. So still federal housing technically. I'm in MN and really want to move to the Upper Peninsula MI because it would be safe and I kind of fell in love with it. I doubt my landlord will help me find a new unit via external transfer, so I need to know how to advocate for it myself. :)
You’ll love this....not. I’ve been getting on all the “waiting lists” that I can. You have to APPLY and be APPROVED just to be on the WL in my city. Well one prop mgr mentioned they take section 8. I asked pretending I didn’t know anything about Sec 8. And she said it’s a 9-10 year wait list! I knew better and that she was trying to push people away. Oh well, I’m sending apps like crazy to the ones who have wait list open.
They always talk B.S because they think no one could possibly beat there acessment test and pitful algorithm lol.I eat housing authorites for lunch. Your doing the right thing don't buy into hype 😂.
Thanks for your valuable content.
You are most welcome Mr. Garcia
I started the process to port from ny to fl but currently living in the old apartment how long do I have to leave that old apartment and move
That depends on your HA in New York.
I have lived in this town for a least a year on public housing can I switch to section 8 then transfer to another state
Yes
Can you port the voucher without living somewhere for 12 months with a disability?
Depends
Greetings, I know this is a 3 month old video, but I currently have a Section 8 voucher here in Lake county IL. and I'm really not having any luck finding a really decent unit that accepts the Section 8 vouchers or some of the rents are just too high!
I did a search and came across Lake county but in FLORIDA!? And I've come across a ton of rentals in FL that are accepting the voucher! So, I'm trying to figure out if it's best that I transfer out of state or keep my Voucher here in IL. and keep looking here? Any suggestions would be helpful!
Thank you! JC
I would suggest using www.gosection8.com/
Same here I’m moving to Orlando when my lease is up

@@Section8Consulting SO are you saying port to another state or not port..
Also I am curious when looking for a port in state to go to does the housing authority you choose need to be open? How do you know which states and cities will bill and absorb? How to know who can and cant?? Thanks
Great channel.. ha u just answered one my questions
I’m in Missouri and wanting to port Jacksonville fl in March. Can you help with that and do I need to set up appointment when it closer to my move out date?
Porting takes around 30 -45 days. I would advise booking appointment when your 35 days from the move date.section8consulting.setmore.com/
Are you located in TX
Hey when u say purchase the address are u talking about a P.O. Box.?
Real streets address - UPS, No PO boxes...
@@Section8Consulting I have a voucher for fort Wayne indiana but I’m currently in Chicago can I do this to get the port out.?
SO, IF THE POTENTIAL LANDLORD IN ANOTHER STATE ASK ME TO MAIL IN MONEY FOR RENT, APP. FEE..., IS THE SAFE ?
l hope your kidding , SCAM...
Hey Good Evening I’ll be receiving my first voucher and I find out that if I decided to move after my one year is up they don’t pay for ports if I decided to port. What should I do or speak to
I would advise booking an appointment, this is not something I can address easily address in the comment section of a video. section8consulting.setmore.com/ ,the answer they gave you simply not true.
@@Section8Consulting ok Thanks!!

Yes, That is correct
Id like to get to maui if thats possibe.
He did , I heard that too and will be my next search ..
Is it possible to get the section 8 paperwork inspection and lease agreement done in your current state for a new apartment in a new state while looking in your current state so when we move we'll have a place ready to move into?
Sorry No ...
@@Section8Consulting so if your porting 14hrs away from your intinal housing .do you have ti make finacial arrangements to fly there to do the initial appointment with the Port out housing authority? So what about inspection ,then too? Then move ...thats mighty expensive how are people pulling that one off being low income?
I just got accepted and we’ll be gettting my book this week from Columbus but currently in Texas sense I’m new would I be able to port it to Texas. Or would they make me Waite 12 months and then ..
You will have wait 12 months 😬
@@Section8Consulting ohh okay thank you
Hi I live In CT with section 8 I wanna move to Florida, any suggestions?
Porting can be complicated process that take up to 45 days. I would suggest hiring consultant if you not well versed.
How do you like the section 8 agency in connecticut? I'm tryna move there. Can you help?
It depends on the county your in?
I have a mainstream housing choice voucher can I port out of that
Yes
@@Section8Consulting I've currently been selected for a mainstream voucher after about a year of waiting in the state of Texas. I completed an online intake that was due by 01/28/2022. I really don't know what to expect after the fact, but I'm concerned since my circumstances have got worse if I'm approved for the voucher I'm not mentally fit to drive [relocation]from Nevada to Texas, I'm in emergency housing now, and I wouldn't have [at least I do not currently have] support system in Texas as I've established in Nevada. Is it any way possible that I could request to port that new voucher from Texas to Nevada so i can hopefully get out of this hotel soon? Thanks.
Hello, I reached the top of the HCV list currently going thru the application process my question is I submitted the Wait list application when I lived in new York state since then I have moved to Florida if I do get the voucher can I transfer it to Florida immediately or would I have to move back to nys for a year then move?
You would have to wait 12 months 😔
@@Section8Consulting thank you for the reply
Your welsome.
@@jocelynmorgan3675 hi, how long did it take for you to get your voucher after turning in the packet.
I have a question I live in Baltimore and trying to transfer my voucher to Florida how do I go about that ?
Hello I was selected for a housing voucher in Puerto Rico I live in Maryland and would like to go to school here. Will I have to live there before I can move or can I tell them that I plan to go to school . I am also disabled.
Rico might require 12 months before moving.
@@Section8Consulting thanks so much I am trying to get section 811 hey said I need a case manager to apply but I cant get in contact with one
I have public housing not sec 8. Can I tranfer to puertoRico
If you have project based housing (Public Housing) it maybe possible as long as the voucher is not attached to the apartment.
My town pha says they aren't over section 8, wtf !
Lol ,that a first.
@@Section8Consulting call them, clarke county georgia lmao
Yes they are... here in NC anyways
