My question is how long can a tenant be gone from their apartment that is being paid for with section 8 money, say this person has to be sent to a long term care faculity, does HUD have a definite rule on this?

Hi, nanpum!

Greetings and WELCOME to the site! I just moved your question that you had posted in Introductions to this topic area so that it would get the most exposure to those who are best able to answer it. Introductions is for people to introduce themselves and we try to not ask questions there.

We would appreciate it if you would return to Introductions sometime to tell us a little about yourself though, if you would be willing to do that.

Thanks!

I don't quite understand the question - what are you asking? How long would Section 8 pay for the apartment? How long before the tenant is formally evicted? Would the government pay for both the apartment and the long-term care facility?
