Section 8 and Covid-19

[Wilsharo Scott]

Hi all. I recently purchased my first rental property and currently working on finishing up renovations on it. I'll soon be looking for a renter. My initial thought was to seek a Section 8 tenant, as the majority of the rent will be paid by the government, lowering the risk of missed payments.  Am I missing something? Has the Section 8 program been negatively affected by what's going on during the pandemic?
