Complete Guide to Section 8 & Public Housing in Arizona

Arizona has 23 housing authorities managing a combined 217 waiting lists across Section 8 (HCV), Public Housing, and Project-Based Voucher programs. Currently, 92 of those lists are accepting applications — an open rate of approximately 42%. This data was last verified on Oct 14, 2026.

Those agencies administer roughly 31,054 assisted housing units statewide — 4,300 public housing units and 26,754 Housing Choice Vouchers, across 10 counties. Income limits are set by HUD per county or metro area, so eligibility thresholds differ between agencies within Arizona.

The affordable housing programs tracked in Arizona include Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) (4 open), Public Housing (11 open), Project-Based Vouchers (PBV) (4 open), Mainstream (2 open), RAD (1 open), VASH (2 open). Each program has its own eligibility criteria, application process, and wait times. In most cases, applicants can apply to multiple program types at the same housing authority, and there is no limit to the number of housing authorities you can apply to statewide.

The cities with the most open waitlists in Arizona right now are Peoria (34), Yuma (13), Mesa (10), Phoenix (8), and Kingman (7) . Applicants who are flexible about location will generally receive assistance sooner than those who apply to a single waitlist in a high-demand area.
