A fresh roundup every Monday covering Section 8 and public housing waitlists opening nationwide. Don't miss a week.
The latest waiting list openings across the country
This week's Section 8 roundup includes 15 waiting list openings across 11 states, with Florida, Ohio, Oregon, and South Carolina each posting multiple opport...
Every week, housing authorities across the country open waiting lists for their Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher, Public Housing, and Project-Based Voucher programs. These openings are often small, brief — some close within hours of opening — and scattered across local authority websites that rarely coordinate. If you don't know where to look, you'll miss them.
Affordable Housing Hub publishes a fresh roundup every Monday covering that week's openings nationwide. Each entry lists the authority's name, city and state, program type, exact opening date, and a direct link to either the application portal or the authority's original notice page. Many of these waiting lists accept applicants from outside the local area, which means a smart nationwide search can open up voucher options you'd never find browsing your own city alone.

What to know before you apply for a Section 8 or public housing waitlist.
Each week we publish a roundup of every Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), Public Housing, and Project-Based Voucher (PBV) waiting list that is scheduled to open in the United States during the coming week. Each entry includes the housing authority's name, location, program type, opening date, application link, and any notes from the authority itself.
A new roundup is published every Monday morning covering that week's openings (Monday through Sunday). We source directly from housing authority data and update our announcements as soon as new openings are detected.
Often no. Many Section 8 and public housing waiting lists accept applications from residents of other states — you can apply and, if awarded a voucher, port it to your local area. However, some lists give preference to local residents or restrict to local applicants only. Always check the individual authority's notes before applying.
Housing authorities typically receive thousands of applications per opening, sometimes within hours. Many lists close at a preset application cap (e.g., the first 500 applicants). This is why we recommend applying on the first day an opening accepts applications.
Our weekly announcements are assembled from housing authority notices tracked by section8waitlist.org, which scans authority websites and notice pages daily. Every entry links to either the authority's official application portal, the original notice page, or both.
Yes — subscribe to our newsletter on the main page and we'll email you each week's roundup as soon as it's published. You can also bookmark the waitlist announcements archive and check back each Monday.
