BOCA RATON, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
GoSection8.com, the largest rental listing service for Section 8 landlords, tenants and public housing authorities in the United States, today announced that the number of landlords seeking Section 8 tenants has risen by 18 percent this year.
GoSection8.com`s Housing Voucher Participation Index indicates that the number of new landlords participating in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development`s national Section 8 Rental Voucher Program has risen significantly this year. The largest increases have occurred in California housing markets, such as Oakland and San Diego, while some markets in the Southwest, including Phoenix and Dallas, have remained relatively flat. The GoSection8.com Affordable Housing Participation Index comprises 10 major affordable housing markets that GoSection8.com has been serving and tracking for a minimum of three years.
"We are pleased to offer our Index as a reliable barometer of national landlord
interest in Section 8 housing," said Richard Cupelli, president of GoSection8.com. "It is undeniable that more landlords nationwide are looking to
the Section 8 program because it offers guaranteed, stable rent payments at
market prices."
