Well, the Section 8 that I'm familiar with is government housing assistance. So, I'd start by  Googling HUD (Housing & Urban Development). You can contact the state's Chamber of Commerce, or a municipality's chamber of commerce. You can also look up a state senator or assemblyman there and ask someone in their office for logistical help.
