Section 8 housing in Oregon

23 housing authorities in Oregon 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 Oregon

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 Oregon

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?

Waiting list closed?

That is common, and it is not the end of the road. You can apply to any housing authority whose list is open, not only the one where you live now — and the HUD-assisted properties above keep their own separate waiting lists.
