You will not qualify without a job. Section 8 is to help people, not support them. If you want to live for free you have to live in the homeless shelter.





The waiting list is over 5 years long there, so you have some time to get yourself a job so you can apply, a couple more months will not make any difference.





If you really want your own place you might think about supporting yourself, almost every one else manages it.How to apply for section 8 rent money assistance in syracuse?
Section 8 is given out by housing urban development or HUD. If you go to www.hud.gov, you can find your local office and apply. with you being pregnant, they may move you up on the waiting list, but you have to also take into consideration how many pregnant women there are in your area. Also, you may want to call different shelters, some are just for women who are pregnant or with child...they provide an apartment until you can get you on your feet. For a list of different shelters, just goggle them or call different churches or the department of social service.
I can't seem to find an exact website for Syracuse's Housing Authority.. however here is the info.. on how to contact them..

From what I got on HUD.gov's site syracuse both owns buildings as public housing and has a section 8 program. Despite what Landlord said, you do not need a job to live there, but its best if you have some form of income. Now I am not sure how long the waiting list is, but for section 8, I would not be surprised if to get on the waiting list is closed until next year. Give them a call and see what they can offer you.
Go to your local Social Services Department. Understand that the wait list in NY is over 5 years.
