How to use this page

Start with an agency in your city or county, then confirm that it serves your address. Program labels come directly from HUD: Housing Choice Vouchers means the agency administers Section 8 vouchers, Public housing means it manages public housing, and Public housing + vouchers means it reports both.

Applying is free. A listed unit count does not mean the agency has an opening today, and a closed waiting list may reopen later.

Before you contact an agency

  • Ask whether the waiting list is open and whether the agency serves your current address.
  • Have household names, birth dates, Social Security numbers, income, benefit, and asset information available.
  • Ask which identity, citizenship or eligible-immigration, income, and residency documents the agency requires.
  • Apply to more than one eligible waiting list when allowed; wait times vary by agency and program.

After you apply

  • Save the confirmation number, submission date, and a copy of the application.
  • Follow the agency's instructions for checking your waiting-list status.
  • Report address, phone, email, income, and household changes promptly.
  • Respond by the stated deadline if the agency asks for documents or sends an eligibility appointment.

What the HUD designation means

HUD's Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) designation is an operational assessment of an agency's public housing program. It is not a customer-review score, does not evaluate voucher wait times, and should not be used as a promise of service quality. 1 Troubled Performer
