Public Housing Agencies own and manage the property it leases. Section 8 provides rental assistance but the families rent from private landlords whose housing meets certain standards.

Public Housing refers to the 636 units of assisted housing that THA owns and manages on seven sites. Section 8 housing refers to a HUD program where income eligible families find their own housing and are assisted with their rental payments. (Rent is based on resident paying approximately 30% of the family income for rent, and THA paying the remainder).

Subsidized housing is housing that is affordable because you pay a portion of your income towards your rent. Subsidized housing can be in private low-rent housing, public housing and in the form of a rental subsidy. For more information about affordable housing, we recommend the booklet How to Obtain Housing Assistance in Massachusetts, 2004, published by the MA Department of Housing and Community Development (click here, or call (617) 573-1100).

For Public Housing and Section 8, you must apply to the Local Housing Authorities (for both public housing and Section 8), and to one of the Regional Non-Profit Housing Agencies (for Section 8). You are not limited to the number of local housing authorities to which you apply for public housing or Section 8. Please note that a number of Local Housing Authorities participate in a Centralized Section 8 waiting list (check out http://www.massnahro.org/ for information about this).

The Vancouver Housing Authority, (360) 694-2501, administers all Section 8 housing for both the City of Vancouver and Clark County. Additional affordable housing and/or homeless shelter units can be found through Information and Referral, and the Council for the Homeless.

These waiting lists are quite long. You may also call our Housing Consumer Education Center (617-425-6700) or any of the local housing authorities to find out how to submit an application.

Yes, you may apply as long as the waiting list is open. The same goes if you are applying for Public Housing you may also apply for Section 8 if that waiting list is open.

Section 8 residents are required to pay 30% of their income in rent up to the Fair Market Rent (FMR) amount. Once a resident's income is sufficient to pay the entire rent, they will no longer be eligible to receive a Section 8 subsidy but they may remain in their apartment regardless of income. Any resident whose income goes up to the extent they can afford to pay the Fair Market Rent will be allowed to remain in the unit as long as they continue to comply with all requirements (e.g.
