Where do I go to apply for public housing?
It is important to only apply for housing programs at Local Housing Authorities where you want to live. When you have completed the entire paper application, mail or hand deliver it to a Local Housing Authority. You will only need to send your application to one LHA even if you have applied for housing programs at another.
How can I contact my Local Housing Authority?
Visit the housing authority’s website for the latest on its current operations, if one is available. If there is no information online, contact the housing authority directly.
