How to apply
Contact the administering housing authority
Named above. Only they can tell you whether a waiting list is open.
Check the income limits
In the table above for your household size. Income is one factor, not the whole test.

Ask for the landlord list
Most authorities keep a list of owners who have accepted vouchers before. It is usually free and rarely published online.
