Affordable housing across the U.S.: public housing, Section 8 vouchers, subsidized apartments, and the lotteries in New York City and San Francisco. Pick your state to see local housing agencies and subsidized apartments with phone numbers. Applying is always free.
Public housing and Section 8 vouchers: apply through the housing agency for your city or county. Most have waiting lists that open only at certain times.
Subsidized apartments: contact each building’s office directly. Every building keeps its own waiting list, and you can apply to several.
Lotteries: register and apply on the city’s lottery site. Applications are ordered at random after the deadline, so timing does not matter; one application per household per lottery.
In every case household size, income and identity are verified, so have your documents ready. Waits can be months, and years in high-demand areas.
Applying is always free. Be wary of anyone who says paying will move you up or guarantee a unit, or who charges to apply for you.
