Getting help
Most HUD-approved housing counseling is free or low-cost. A counselor can explain the application process, help you gather documents, and point you to local housing authorities and open waiting lists - they cannot apply for you or move you up a waitlist.
Never pay anyone who promises a housing or waitlist spot - applications for subsidized housing are always free. This listing is informational; we are not affiliated with HUD or this agency.
