When you first recieve a section 8 voucher you have 60 days to find a place, Then you can get a extension for another 60 days after that if you still havn't found a place you lose the voucher. In california the director of section 8 is a latino man, so the entire program is geared towards mexicans, And of course they get their vouchers before everybody else and they go and find all the decent apartment units. Then its nothing left but the slums in regard to available apartments upon recieving a voucher.

I'm forced to just let the dern voucher expire, And the place i currently have doesn't accept section 8 vouchers although i have a nice place currently i didn't want to just stay stuck here in this apartment permanantly, They may sale the place or decide to go up on the rent or evict me. That was my purpose for wanting to use the voucher thinking i would have that added crutch if i were ever to fall on hard times atleast i would have a voucher to always move around and find another place.
