Housing authorities, waiting lists, and rent limits are all local. Each city has its own Public Housing Authority (PHA), its own open and closed Section 8 waiting lists, and its own payment standards. Choose your city below for the specific housing authority contacts, waiting-list status, rent limits, and tenant resources that apply where you live.
