1. Section 8 is thru welfare dept so yes you would have to be a resident.
2. It seems as though you are "getting the cart before the horse". The housing authority (Sec. 8) is a government agency and you have to start somewhere. That somewhere to start would be establishing a residence, go to work and on up the ladder. Make sense? Can't start in the middle and get anywhere. It's like "is the glass half full or half empty".
3. Wow, that does sound like a silly requirement. Have you checked with a legal authority such as a lawyer etc. as to the legality of this?
4. Go to a homeless shelter and get an address.
