If you already have a housing voucher

A Housing Choice Voucher pays part of the rent in a privately owned apartment you find yourself. It cannot be used in an apartment that is already subsidized, so the 36 income-based apartments here are not an option for it. Browse landlords in Philadelphia who accept vouchers or see Section 8 rent limits and housing authorities in Philadelphia County.

Frequently asked questions

How do I apply to New Market West?
Apply to the property, not to the housing authority. Call the office at (215) 557-3314 and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application. New Market West keeps its own waiting list, separate from the Section 8 voucher list. Expect to show ID, Social Security numbers and proof of income for everyone in the household.
What is the income limit for New Market West?
Most admissions to project-based Section 8 are for very low income households (50% of area median or less). Limited admissions above that level may be allowed within the low income limit. At least 40% of assisted units becoming available in a fiscal year must go to extremely low income households. The applicable admission rules depend on the contract; the office verifies eligibility (24 CFR 5.653). In Philadelphia County the FY2026 very low income limit is $42,950 a year for one person and $61,350 for a household of four.
How much is rent at New Market West?
Residents pay about 30% of their adjusted income toward rent and a HUD contract with the property covers the rest. HUD's resident data records an average payment of $552 a month toward rent and utilities. This historical average is not a current rent quote. Your own share is calculated from your household's income when you move in and again each year.
Do I need a Section 8 voucher to live at New Market West?
No. This is Project-based Section 8: the assistance is attached to the apartment, not to the tenant, so it is there when you move in and stays behind when you move out. A Housing Choice Voucher cannot be combined with an apartment that already has project-based assistance.
