Charleston, South Carolina landlords will accept Section 8 housing vouchers. The Section 8 program is locally run by the Charleston Kanawha Housing authority, which uses federal money supplied by the Housing and Urban Development program (HUD). Section 8 in Charleston allows families to only pay a percentage of their income and the rest of the money is made up through the voucher program so the landlord receives enough rent to continue to offer low income apartments to the local community.

If you have a Section 8 voucher, it is still your responsibility to find an apartment in the city that accepts Section 8. After you find an apartment, you need to fill out an application, determine if you owe first and last months rent, plus a damage deposit and then you need to make that payment. Landlords are usually very friendly, you just need to be up front and transparent and make the monthly payment on time so you can continue to live in the unit.
