A single mother who plans on applying for Section 8 spoke to the struggles of applying in the past and comments on the new process.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Two weeks from Tuesday the Section 8 waitlist is finally opening for pre-applications. It's been several years since it last opened, and this time, it will not close again.Earlier today I met with Destiny Jones at Reid Park because she’s temporarily living in a hotel with her three daughters.
“Once you make over a certain level, you don't qualify for food stamps or those things that help you, then you stay at that medium level,” said Jones. And the rise in rent has also made it hard. “Like even if you get approved for an apartment, the price for the first month’s rent and the deposit is astronomical right now.”“I didn’t make it to the top of the list, I believe it was like three years. And then I got a phone call, but at the time I was living in Dallas,” she said.
