Not Legal or Housing Advice
Section8Finder is an informational tool only. Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice, housing counseling, or a guarantee of housing assistance. We are not a Public Housing Authority (PHA), a government agency, or a licensed housing counselor. For personalized guidance, contact your local PHA directly or reach a HUD-approved housing counselor at hud.gov/findacounselor.
Data Accuracy & Timeliness
Waitlist information displayed on Section8Finder is sourced from official PHA and government websites. We make reasonable efforts to verify and update this data regularly. However:
- Waitlist statuses can change at any time without notice.
- Application deadlines, open dates, and eligibility rules are set by each PHA independently.
- We cannot guarantee that the information displayed is current or complete.
- Always verify waitlist status directly with the PHA before making any housing decisions.
No Affiliation with HUD or Any PHA
Section8Finder is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), any Public Housing Authority, the Department of Veterans Affairs, or any other government agency. All official program links go directly to government websites (.gov domains). We do not process applications or accept application materials.
External Links
This site links exclusively to official government websites and nationally recognized non-profit organizations. We are not responsible for the content, availability, or accuracy of external websites. The inclusion of a link does not constitute an endorsement. Always verify you are on the official PHA website (look for a .gov domain or the PHA's official domain) before submitting any personal information.
Advertising Disclosure
Section8Finder may display third-party advertisements to help fund the operation of this free service. Advertisements are clearly labeled "Sponsored"and are separate from our informational content. We do not endorse any advertiser's products or services. Advertising revenue does not influence which PHAs or programs we list or how we present them.

Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Section8Finder, its operators, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any loss, damage, missed housing opportunity, or harm arising from your use of or reliance on information presented on this site. Use this tool as one resource among many — not as your sole source of housing information.
Scam Warning
Be alert to housing scams.No legitimate Section 8 program charges an application fee. No PHA will ask for payment to join a waitlist or to process your voucher. If anyone asks you to pay money to apply for Section 8 or to "hold your spot" on a waitlist, it is a scam. Report it to the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint and your local HUD office.
