For those with limited income, there is public housing for persons with disabilities. This can be a two month wait or longer. The single person facilities can be sometimes somewhat undesirable. Being disabled is in your favor here. Any housing agency in your state has to allow you access to their list when it is open.
Lists can be open anywhere from a few days to weeks.
You can get the list of all state housing agencies from your local housing authority. You will have to call them to find out when their list is open. When it is open, you can request that they send you an application. They have to do this because of reasonable accommodation for disabled individuals. Getting Section 8 is a matter of getting on enough lists, until you find one that is relatively short and you come up to the top.
