Hi all,

I'm was once living in Dallas about 5 years ago, but had relocated back to NY because of family issues. Now I'm currently unemployed, I'm seriously thinking about moving back to Dallas, but I needed some help about the section 8 procedure. I am currently collecting unemployment, but don't think it would be enough to cover my rent, bills and utilities. I understand there's a waiting list, just wondering if I can apply for the section 8 while I'm still here, or do I have to live in Dallas for a period of time before I apply. It's just me and my 3 kids. I will be seeking in a job also, but for the past 6 months, it has been difficult finding one in this economy. Is there a waiting list? Does anyone know the procedure, such as the wait and requirements?

are you kidding--
do you know any city, especially any city where there is fiscal hardship, unemployment where there is NOT a wait for Section 8 approval?

check out the city/county sites...

Dallas County

Dallas Housing Authority
info there says wait is 2 (TWO) years for elderly/disabled and closed for others
