Answer 1

Section 8 can be used to buy a home. If you aren't in poverty and could own a home when you bought it it is up to you to have an emergency fund or plans on how to pay when times are tough. Otherwise everyone would buy new cars and run up credit cards and want welfare to pay the house payment.

Answer 2

Not sure where shiprepairwoman is coming from, but Sec 8 is NOT available to a homeowner. It is strictly a rent assistance program.

As far as assistance to make a mortgage payment goes, why on earth should the general public finance your mortgage payments so you can gain increasing equity at public cost ?

How about if we also start payment assistance programs for those who want to own their own car, but can't afford the payment ? While we are at it, why don't we start a program to assist those who want to own a boat, but cannot afford the payments ?

Be realistic here. You're NOT going to get free money so you can develop a paid asset at government expense.
