Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) are local agencies that manage HUD-funded low-income housing programs. They are responsible for administering vouchers and managing local housing inventory to ensure safe, sanitary conditions.
Always keep your contact information updated with the Housing Authority. If they cannot reach you, you may be removed from the waitlist.
You can apply to multiple waitlists at the same time across different cities to increase your chances of being selected.
