Complete Guide to Section 8 & Public Housing in Georgia

Georgia has 178 housing authorities managing a combined 505 waiting lists across Section 8 (HCV), Public Housing, and Project-Based Voucher programs. Currently, 167 of those lists are accepting applications — an open rate of approximately 33%. This data was last verified on Mar 2, 2026.

The affordable housing programs tracked in Georgia include Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) (15 open), Public Housing (103 open), Project-Based Vouchers (PBV) (12 open), RAD (1 open), Mainstream (1 open), VASH. 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 Georgia right now are Cuthbert (14), Moultrie (9), Atlanta (6), Albany (5), and Americus (5) . 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: Housing Authority of the City of Winder — PBRA (Multi-Family Program) (closes Apr 12, 2026)
