How to use a housing authority
Which authority is mine?
Usually the one for the city or county where you want to live. Small towns are often covered by a county or regional authority, and you can apply to more than one.
Applying is free
You apply to the authority itself, never through VoucherMatch, and no authority charges a fee to join a waiting list. See the waiting lists we have verified as open.
Already have a voucher?
Browse landlords who accept vouchers, or look for income-based apartments that need no voucher.
Office details from HUD's Public Housing Authorities directory. VoucherMatch is not a housing authority and is not affiliated with one.
