Hi and good morning everyone, Im new to this site and only here for some info and in need of it so much. would greatly appreciate all the advice. Im a single mother with section 8 voucher, i use to work as hha (private) but my patient passed on to her next life. I live in the Bronx but im looking to move to Manhattan so i can work for this agency that works sensitively with my schedule (Single parent), we are living in bad times and i don't want to work someone where my kids are in another borough and will take me some time to get to them in an emergency,
I would like some section 8 landlords numbers or management info if possible, I need to work asap and i also need to move to where that work will be asap, I have section 8 voucher and tried to find listings of rentals on line but the broker fee is a bit too much *$1400-$1700* I have to pay first month rent and utilities i cant afford that money in one shot, so please any info for section 8 apts in Manhattan, where there are schools (public and middle schools) .. Thanks kindly, looking forward to the replies
If you end up finding a Manhattan LL that will accept a $1,400-$1,700 section 8 voucher for 2+ bedrooms (since you said you have kids), please let us know! It would be quite the achievement and deserving of praise. At this point, people in your shoes are having trouble finding a LL to accept them at that rent in the Bronx!
Yes very true, where i live now, is a one bedroom and my current rent is $1462.62 (east bronx) near fordham road, its way too much, I just wish i was still working but im not trying to give the brokers or landlords so much of my money when their current residents for (10+) years dont pay that much. The building i live in was built 1910, I feel the landlord is ripping me off, now im out of work, I applied for Public assistance to help with rent and they pay only $150 for me, Im really frustrated was hoping to get out this borough and go back to harlem where there are jobs and more convenient living (schools, milbank,ymca,+other) since im from harlem. I sure miss harlem.
I would also consider transferring the voucher to another city/state, where there may be more opportunities, better schools for your kids, better people, better environment, safety, etc. I see going to harlem as more of the same...except it will be more expensive than the Bronx.

And after looking through my options, i got on here and seen most of these places are not a good place to live. I hear most of them are not far from eachother, I also read that some are good but wasnt sure if it was still something i should risk, I know you dont have to pay utilities which is great! but the kiddies need to be in a safer place. Its crime everywhere but the Projects whoo, something i must really really think about, in the 90's i lived on 115 and lenox, right across from the pojects, them kids were bad as hell lol
I also thought about relocating to another state but new york is all i know, Im not afraid to go or anything like that, I have many options here to better myself, .. Im in acting classes 3x a week and its located in 34 and 8ave, I also model but its freelance work for the time being till i can promote myself more. There is no place like Manhattan/Harlem
Is Section 8 popular these days or what's going on? Sobro Guy said it would be hard to get a place so how many people actually qualify for it?
