  1. section eight

    Section Eight typically refers to a U.S. federal housing assistance program officially known as Section 8 of the Housing Act of 1937. This program, funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), provides rental assistance to low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled, enabling them to acquire affordable, decent, and safe housing in the private market. The assistance is provided in the form of vouchers, which cover a portion of the rental cost. The term "Section Eight" also has a historical military usage, where it was used to refer to a category of discharge from the United States military for reason of being mentally unfit for service.
