Frequently asked questions

How many housing authorities are there in Iowa?

HUD lists 63 public housing agencies in Iowa: 37 administer Section 8 vouchers and 44 manage public housing. Together they have 4,010 public housing units and 24,467 Housing Choice Vouchers.

How do I apply for Section 8 in Iowa?

You apply at a local housing authority, not with HUD or the state. Find the agencies that serve your city or county in the list on this page, check if their waiting list is open and submit a pre-application. You can apply to several agencies at once.

Which is the largest housing authority in Iowa?

Des Moines Municipal Housing Agency, with 410 public housing units and 3,709 Section 8 vouchers according to HUD.

Can I apply to a housing authority in a different city of Iowa?

Yes. You can apply to any agency, but many give preference to people who live or work in their area. After 12 months with a voucher you can usually move it to another area (portability).
