Two different searches

Have a voucher—or need one?

I have a Housing Choice Voucher

Find a rental for your voucher.

A tenant-based voucher can help pay rent in a privately owned home. Your agency must review the proposed unit and terms.

Browse rental listings
I need assistance with the apartment

Explore property-based housing.

Project-based assistance stays with a particular apartment. Apply through the property or agency’s own process; a separate waiting list may apply.

Explore subsidized properties

A HUD property record does not establish that you can use a portable voucher there. HUD explains the two routes.

A little preparation goes a long way

Make the first call count.

Get the details for the actual apartment before you pay to apply. Record the unit address, the person you spoke with and the date.

  1. 01Talk to the leasing office.Ask about the voucher, the unit and every required charge.

Check before you pay

Applying for housing assistance or joining an agency waitlist is free. An agency will not ask you to pay by app, wire or gift card to get a spot. Use HUD’s contact page to find your housing agency, then call to check an offer.

Do not pay to view a home or hold a waitlist spot. Before sending rent or a deposit, confirm the home and the person’s right to rent it. See FTC advice on checking a rental.

Sources checked October 16, 2026: HUD OIG’s August 2024 waitlist fraud bulletin and FTC rental-scam guidance (June 2026).

Rental terms used on this page
Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8)
Rental help run by a housing authority. You find a home, and the agency checks the unit, rent and your household before it approves payment.
Payment standard
An amount the agency uses to work out housing assistance for a unit size and area. It does not mean that any home at that rent will be approved.
FMR and SAFMR
HUD rent estimates for an area (Fair Market Rent) or ZIP code (Small Area Fair Market Rent). They include rent and most tenant-paid utilities. Your agency may use a different payment standard.
Utility allowance
The agency’s estimate of the cost of utilities you must pay. It is not a promise to pay your actual bills.
Gross rent and tenant share
Gross rent combines the lease rent and the agency’s utility allowance. Your tenant share is the part you must pay after the agency works out your help.
Portability
Moving with a voucher to an area served by another housing agency. Ask your current worker what to do before you move.
Request for tenancy approval
The unit and owner paperwork your agency needs to start its rent and housing-quality review. Ask the agency for its form and deadline.

How do I find apartment complexes that take Section 8 near me?

Start with your city or borough, then check the complex’s own website or an official housing-authority directory. Ask the leasing office about your voucher, bedroom size, rent, utilities and available date. A policy that accepts vouchers is a starting point; your housing authority must still approve the proposed rental.

What apartments accept Section 8 vouchers?

Housing Choice Vouchers can help eligible households rent privately owned homes. Check which voucher programs a listing identifies, confirm the current terms with the owner, and have your housing authority review the unit. A listing is not a guarantee of rent approval or availability.

How do I find apartments that accept Section 8 near me?

Start with your borough or metro on this page, or browse all current listings and filter by neighborhood, ZIP code, and bedroom count. Listings may identify voucher programs; a missing program tag does not establish refusal. Confirm the current terms and voucher paperwork with the owner.

Do landlords have to accept Section 8?

Rules depend on where the apartment is. In NYC, the Human Rights Law protects voucher holders from source-of-income discrimination in most buildings. Coverage and exceptions matter; a landlord’s stated policy is not the final word on your rights. Check the official guidance for your location before assuming a refusal is lawful.

General information, not legal advice. NYC Commission on Human Rights: tenant FAQ. Checked October 16, 2026.

Does rent below a HUD benchmark mean my voucher will cover it?

A HUD benchmark alone does not establish affordability. Your housing authority uses its adopted payment standard, household information and utility allowance to assess the proposed tenancy. Rent reasonableness and the unit inspection also matter. Ask the authority for a calculation using the actual address and lease terms.

Is a listing alert the same as applying for Section 8?

No. A VoucherMatch listing alert helps you follow rental options. Applying for a voucher or a subsidized property involves the housing authority or property’s own application process. Check the official instructions and current application status before submitting information.
