Is there a public database of section 8 rentals/properties?

It doesn't really work that way.
Any landlord can decide at any time that they will accept Section-8 for a given apartment. If they do accept and a tenant that receives Section-8 assistance is interested in moving into the property, the property must pass a standardized HUD inspection before payment is made from HUD to the landlord.
Re-inspections typically occur annually.
But there are some websites such as https://www.gosection8.com that will let you search section 8 housing.
I'm curious where they get their data from. Do you know?
Perhaps these sites require the landlord to advertise their properties on it (like Craigslist), and there is no public database.
