**Do DACA Dreamers get Section 8 housing?**<\/p>\n

Section 8 housing, also known as the Housing Choice Voucher program, provides rental assistance to low-income families and individuals in the United States. It is a common question whether DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipients, also referred to as Dreamers, are eligible for Section 8 housing benefits. Unfortunately, the answer to this question is no. DACA Dreamers are not eligible for Section 8 housing benefits due to their immigration status.<\/p>\n

The Section 8 housing program is administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It is designed to assist U.S. citizens, legal permanent residents, and certain eligible non-citizens who have qualified immigration statuses. While DACA recipients have limited protection from deportation and may obtain work permits, they do not have a legal immigration status. Consequently, this makes them ineligible for most federal benefits, including Section 8 housing.<\/p>\n
