Section8Finder is building a verified directory of affordable and voucher-friendly housing resources. This page does not yet list individual rental vacancies, and we would rather tell you that plainly than show you something we cannot stand behind.
What this page will become
We are assembling housing information from official government sources — public housing authority (PHA) contact and jurisdiction records, HUD-assisted multifamily properties, and Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties. Each record will be published with its source, its program type, and the date it was last checked.
An important distinction
Government housing datasets describe properties that receive a subsidy or authorities that administer a program. They do not record vacancies, and they do not say whether a property is accepting applications.
- A HUD-assisted property is a building with a HUD subsidy contract. It may be fully occupied, may have its own waiting list, and may serve a specific population such as seniors or people with disabilities.
- A LIHTC property received federal tax credits, in some cases decades ago. That is a financing fact, not a vacancy, and it is not the same thing as Section 8.
- A Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) waitlist is opened and closed by the housing authority, on its own schedule, and only the authority can tell you its current status.
We will never present any of these as an available unit. When a property appears here, it will be labelled for what it actually is, with the phone number you need to ask about availability yourself.
What you can use right now
- Section 8 waitlist pages — what we know about each waitlist we cover, with the housing authority’s own contact details and the date each page was last verified.
- Housing authority directory — who administers vouchers in the areas we cover.
- Official Section 8 links by state — direct links to the state housing agency for all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
- Nevada housing guide — our most complete coverage, including city and ZIP-code pages for the Las Vegas area.
How to search for a rental that accepts a voucher
Until this directory is live, these are the routes that actually work:
- Ask your housing authority for its landlord list. Most PHAs keep a list of landlords who have accepted vouchers before. It is usually free and it is usually not published online.
- Use AffordableHousing.gov, HUD’s own free rental listing service.
- Call HUD-assisted properties directly. Ask whether they have vacancies, whether they keep a waiting list, and what their eligibility rules are.
- Check whether source-of-income discrimination is prohibited where you live. In a growing number of states and cities, refusing a tenant solely because they hold a Housing Choice Voucher is unlawful.
What Section8Finder is not
We are an independent information resource. We do not administer vouchers, we do not accept or process applications, we cannot place you in housing, and we never charge for access to public information. If any website asks you to pay to apply for Section 8, do not pay — applications through a housing authority are free.
