Complete Guide to Section 8 & Public Housing in Minnesota

Minnesota has 135 housing authorities managing a combined 427 waiting lists across Section 8 (HCV), Public Housing, and Project-Based Voucher programs. Currently, 154 of those lists are accepting applications — an open rate of approximately 36%. This data was last verified on Mar 2, 2026.

The affordable housing programs tracked in Minnesota include Public Housing (80 open), Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) (21 open), Project-Based Vouchers (PBV) (10 open), Mainstream (2 open), RAD, 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 Minnesota right now are Faribault (14), Eagan (10), Aitkin (8), Saint Paul (6), and Chaska (6) . 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: Washington County CDA — Public Housing (closes Mar 5, 2026)
