Complete Guide to Section 8 & Public Housing in Connecticut

Connecticut has 50 housing authorities managing a combined 424 waiting lists across Section 8 (HCV), Public Housing, and Project-Based Voucher programs. Currently, 108 of those lists are accepting applications — an open rate of approximately 25%. This data was last verified on Oct 15, 2026.

Those agencies administer roughly 59,773 assisted housing units statewide — 12,653 public housing units and 47,120 Housing Choice Vouchers, across 8 counties. Income limits are set by HUD per county or metro area, so eligibility thresholds differ between agencies within Connecticut.

The affordable housing programs tracked in Connecticut include Public Housing (15 open), Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), Project-Based Vouchers (PBV) (9 open), Mainstream (1 open), RAD (2 open), VASH (1 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 Connecticut right now are Stamford (38), Storrs (10), Danbury (7), Enfield (7), and Seymour (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.

Latest opening: Fairfield Housing Authority — PBV (closes Oct 26, 2026)
