How to apply

  1. Contact the administering housing authority

    Named above. Only they can tell you whether a waiting list is open.

  2. Check the income limits

    In the table above for your household size. Income is one factor, not the whole test.

  3. Ask about local preferences

    Many authorities prioritise applicants who live or work in the area, veterans, people with disabilities, or families experiencing homelessness.

  4. 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.
