I am trying to find out how you can get section 8. I was woundering how long it takes and also if you had to have good credit or what it requires! Can someone please tell me a little about this?

That is run through the HUD program - Homeownership - HUD (http://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/programs/hcv/homeownership/)
