Section 8 housing in Mississippi

52 housing authorities in Mississippi run Section 8 programs. You apply to the one that covers the area where you want to live — call before you go, since many keep their waiting lists closed for long stretches.

Cities in Mississippi

Each city page lists the HUD-assisted apartment buildings there — the ones where the subsidy is attached to the unit, so you apply at the property itself.

Where to apply in Mississippi

These are the offices that accept Section 8 (Housing Choice Voucher) applications. Ask two questions when you call: is the waiting list open, and do you have a local residency preference?
