In general, Section 8 does not directly provide assistance for car payments. However, some local housing authorities may consider car expenses when determining a household's total income and expenses for the purpose of calculating the rent subsidy. This means that if you have a car payment, it could potentially affect the amount of rental assistance you receive.
It is important to note that the rules and regulations regarding car ownership and car expenses under Section 8 can vary significantly. To get the most accurate and up-to-date information, it is best to contact the local housing authority or Section 8 office in your area. They will be able to provide you with specific details about the program's policies and whether or not car payments are taken into consideration.
