Frequently Asked Questions

A Public Housing Authority (PHA) is a local government agency created by state law to provide affordable housing for eligible low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities. PHAs manage public housing developments and administer the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program in their communities.

PHAs provide various housing assistance programs including: Public Housing (government-owned rental units), Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (rental assistance for private market housing), homeownership programs, and family self-sufficiency programs. They also maintain waiting lists and determine eligibility for these programs.

You can find your local PHA by selecting your state from our directory above, then choosing your county. Each PHA listing includes phone numbers, email addresses, office locations, and website links where available.

To apply, contact your local PHA when their waiting list is open. You will need to complete an application, provide documentation of income and household composition, and meet eligibility requirements. Visit our Open Waiting Lists page to find PHAs currently accepting applications.
