Montana closes statewide Section 8 housing voucher waitlist due to reduced federal allocation.

Montana has closed its statewide waitlist for Section 8 housing vouchers due to reduced federal allocation. The program, which assists low-income families, older people, and those with disabilities to pay for housing, will affect around 3,000 households. Local housing authorities will keep their waitlists open but many are years-long. The Montana Department of Commerce will spend down reserves and close the waitlist to ensure the program remains solvent and able to serve current participants.
