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 69 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 Philip Murray House, II?
- Apply to the property, not to the housing authority. Call the office at (215) 927-7070 and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application. Philip Murray House, II 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.

- How much is rent at Philip Murray House, II?
- Residents pay about 30% of their adjusted income toward rent and HUD pays the rest to the property. HUD's resident data records an average payment of $396 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 Philip Murray House, II?
- No. This is Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly: 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.
- Is Philip Murray House, II only for seniors?
- HUD lists it as housing for the elderly. For Section 202 capital-advance housing, at least one household member must be 62 or older at initial occupancy (24 CFR 891.205). Ask the office for its household and admission requirements.
