About This Building

Programs Offered by Pittsburgh Housing Authority The Pittsburgh Housing Authority is dedicated to providing housing assistance to low-income residents in the area. Through the management of various programs, such as Low Rent Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8), the authority strives to meet the housing needs of eligible individuals and families. Income-Based Programs Both Low Rent Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) offered by the Pittsburgh Housing Authority are income-based. The eligibility guidelines for these programs are set by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Applicants need to meet the income requirements set forth by HUD to qualify for the assistance provided. Waiting Lists and Availability Due to the high demand for housing assistance in the area, there may be waiting lists for both rentals and vouchers. These waiting lists may occasionally close to new applicants based on their size and the length of time individuals have been waiting. It is imperative to stay updated on the status of waiting lists and the availability of rentals or vouchers.
