Thousands of people lined up today in Daytona Beach and DeLand for a chance to apply for government-subsidized housing.It's the first time in five years that new applications for the federal Housing Choice Voucher Program, commonly known as Section 8, have been accepted in Volusia County.
In Daytona, the line extended to the road and then stretched across a bridge. Some people had been waiting for five hours.
If people qualify, it could be years before they make their way to the top of the list and actually obtain housing assistance.

Nice post! GA is also my biggest earning. However, it’s not a much.
