Apartments accepting Section 8 in Phoenix, AZ

Apply through a public housing agency, rather than through this directory. Eligibility includes household income, household size and other program requirements. For Phoenix assistance, check the City of Phoenix Housing Department’s current application and waiting-list instructions.

A household’s contribution generally starts around 30% of adjusted monthly income. The agency calculates the actual share using program rules, the apartment’s rent and utility allowance. A higher-priced home can increase your share; ask the agency for the approved amount.

No. You still need a suitable available home, the landlord’s application decision and the agency’s approval. The process includes checking rent reasonableness and the apartment’s condition. Ask about application fees and deposits before paying.

A tenant-based voucher supports your search for an eligible rental. Project-based assistance is attached to designated apartments. Ask whether you need a separate property or program waiting list, and what happens to assistance if you later move.

No. Property listings and public housing agency waiting lists are separate. Check the agency’s current notices for application openings, and keep your contact information updated if you join a waiting list.
