San Diego has 6 waiting lists open. San Diego County, California Housing Authority of the County of San Diegerot is a public housing agency in San Diego, California that participates in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher, Public Housing, Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing, Section 8 Project-Based Voucher, Moderate Rehabilitation, and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) programs. As of April 23rd, 2019, Housing Authority of the County of San Diego has 6 waiting lists that are open now or opening soon.
My county, Tulare, has 3 waiting lists open. I only checked lists open in California, but there appear to be quite a few openings throughout the state. As to how soon you get housing after you get on the list, I have no idea.
Janellen, the fact that a waiting list is open does not mean that there isn't a wait of several years to get a voucher. Last year the Sacramento waiting list opened 43,000 people applied, they determined that was too many to put on the list so they drew 7,000 names. It's not expected that the list will open again for 6 or 7 years. I have a friend who lives in Vacaville, he's disabled and raising his son alone. He gets a small disability check and works part time. He signed up for the list in 2012, he is still renting a garage for himself and his son and waiting for a voucher.
As of July 1, 2014, more than 1,410 remained on the HCV waiting list and nearly 1,410 remained on the RAP waiting list. DOH does not anticipate opening the waiting list to accept applications for either program at this time, however you can register on the Housing Choice Voucher Program website to receive an email notification when any CT housing authority advertises the opening of their waiting list to accept new HCV applications.
For years illegal immigrant advocates have said illegals don't get this sort of benefit. So there surely can not be very many for Mr Carson to kick out.
In October, Los Angeles opened its Section 8 housing voucher waiting list for the first time in 13 years and began taking applications for a lottery to get a spot on it.
...Stacker was one of 188,000 people who applied for 20,000 spots in the voucher waiting line for the Housing Authority of the city of Los Angeles. And that line won’t be moving quickly. The Housing Authority’s Section 8 director, Carlos VanNatter, said only about 200 vouchers become available here every month, basically when a pay raise makes someone ineligible or someone dies.
“And even at that list of 20,000 — way less the number of people who applied — it will take us up to 10 years to get through that list,” VanNatter said.
Even with a voucher, there’s no guarantee you’ll find a landlord who will take it. Recipients have just six months to sign a lease or lose their voucher altogether. In LA, only 60 percent are successful. https://www.marketplace.org/2018/01/...sing-us-cities
they are actually pretty strict about who occupies section 8 housing. You can't just start moving people in or you lose your voucher. You can request that they be added as a member of the household but most of those requests are not approved. Section 8 Rules for Visitors and Unauthorized Guests | Section 8 Facts
In the past an illegal alien could be listed on an application for housing as long as there was one eligible citizen applying but their income would be counted toward the rent obligation. It appears that they are removing the rule that allows that. I don't particularly care except that I think it's mean to make changes like this retroactive and to kick people out with no notice. You could accomplish the same purpose by just applying a citizen only requirement to future applications. But Stephen Miller dreamed this up and he seems to be the male version of Cruella de Vil, he even looks the part when he spray paints his bald head to make it look like he has hair
Yes, they should get either a 30-day or 60-day notice to vacate, but they absolutely should be kicked out because they never should have been allowed in there to begin with. And, yes, there are communities where the number of Section 8 homes with one or more undocumented (illegal) immigrants residing in it, with one American citizen, is not small.

Check the sites with the open lists...For instance the Housing Authority of San Diego...
**************************************
Your name is selected from the waiting list according to the date and time of your application. Because of limited federal funding, you may wait 10 or more years before your name is selected from the waiting list.

I would also note that list applies only to rural SD. The cities are all excluded. So a shot at 1% of the housing after more than 10 years.
They should have never been allowed in HUD housing nor should they receive any type of benefit at all. One can't blame them really, as they can't resist the pull factors of free things. It's the Democrats and their shameless pandering to future Democrats that are to blame.
I have a friend who lives in a huge apt complex in north Seattle that has to be about 95 percent Hispanics with huge families. I can only wonder how many have illegal family members living amongst them. All through out Seattle..north and south...there are tons of huge low income subsidized apt complexes with majority Hispanic residents. Yet Seattle has the 3rd highest homeless population in the USA. Its is fact that these illegal families are prioritized over American citizens when it comes to subsidized housing in Seattle. While American citizens have to wait for years...to get a section 8 voucher or get into subsidized housing in Seattle.

are you seriously insisting that illegal immigrants don't live in section 8 households? benito doesn't have to get on the list in order for jose to allow him to live in the house.
Poor conservative snowflakes and their obsession with the big bad illegals. They'll kick them out of Section 8 housing to do what exactly? What then? Let me guess; Republicans have no plan whatsoever. Because they aren't the planning type. Already the holding cells are overflowing with illegal immigrants waiting for hearings and deportation so there's no room at that inn. So what's the plan OP? Besides feeling smug about Ben Carson's fabulous idea.
