Bayanihan Equity Center (BEC) is hosting a housing workshop for NEXT Village on the topic of Section 8 and Other Rental Subsidies for seniors. We will cover frequently asked questions seniors have when trying to find affordable housing options in SF, such as:
- What is a subsidy?
- What is Section 8 and how can I apply?
- Where can I get help with rent?
This presentation will provide information about the basics of subsidies and available rental assistance in San Francisco to help you understand what is available and what the eligibility requirements are. We will also provide information on how to get free help from a housing counselor to apply for options you are eligible for.
