It's been closed for many many moons, but as of November 18th, 2008, Section 8 is once again taking applications (I apologize for the delay in announcing this-been busy with other things).
If you've considered applying in the past and think you may qualify, I encourage you to run, not walk, to an MDHA office near you; I doubt this will last long, given the current state of affairs in our town, state and country....
