I thought Section 8 housing was privately owned and the state or fed paid a private owner.

A private owner can accept section 8, but HUD (Housing Authories) also run their own complexes.... Those big high rises they built all over the country in the 60s were and are not privately owned.

They are paid through housing vouchers, which they get by housing tenants on public assistance.

Believe me, nothing will make you bust your ass at two jobs to save money for a first home than discovering the true meaning of Section 8 housing.
