I need rental assistance (i.e. Section 8) from HUD, am I eligible and how do I apply?​

HUD has rental assistance and housing resources through the Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs.​

Public Housing​

  • Public Housing provides decent and safe rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly and persons with disabilities. HUD provides federal aid to local Public Housing Authorities (PHA) that manage public housing for low-income residents at rents they can afford.
  • Eligibility: Public Housing is limited to low-income families and individuals. A Public Housing Authority determines eligibility based on 1) annual gross income, 2) whether you qualify as elderly, a person with disabilities or as a family, and 3) U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status.
  • To apply, contact Alaska Housing Finance Corporation. In Anchorage, call (907) 338-6100, Mon - Fri 8am - 5pm. In Alaska, call 1-800-478-2432 (Toll Free).

Housing Choice Voucher (commonly known as Section 8)

  • The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program assists low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe and sanitary housing in the private market. Housing assistance is provided through HUD on behalf of the family or individual, so participants can find their own housing. You can use an HCV to pay for all or part of the rent.
  • Eligibility: A Public Housing Authority will determine eligibility for the housing choice voucher program based on the total annual gross income and family size, U.S. citizenship and specified categories of non-citizens who have eligible immigration status.
  • To apply, contact Alaska Housing Finance Corporation. In Anchorage, call (907) 338-6100, Mon - Fri 8am - 5pm. In Alaska, call 1-800-478-2432 (Toll Free).
  • During the application process, a Public Housing Authority will collect information on family income, assets and family composition. The Public Housing Authority will use this information to determine program eligibility and the amount of the housing assistance payment.
