Programs at Flagstaff Housing Authority
HCV Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) open
The Housing Choice Voucher program at Flagstaff Housing Authority provides rental assistance that allows you to choose any privately-owned rental unit that meets program requirements. You pay approximately 30% of your adjusted monthly income toward rent, and the voucher covers the remainder up to the Fair Market Rent for Flagstaff. This program serves approximately 553 households. Vouchers are portable — you can take them with you if you move to a different city or state.
Other Other Programs open
The Other Programs program at Flagstaff Housing Authority provides housing assistance to eligible low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities in Flagstaff. Contact the housing authority directly for specific program details and eligibility requirements.
Public Housing Public Housing open
Public Housing units at Flagstaff Housing Authority are owned and operated directly by the housing authority. Rent is set at 30% of your adjusted monthly income. Flagstaff Housing Authority manages approximately 265 Public Housing units in Flagstaff. You may request a transfer to other Public Housing developments but cannot use this benefit at private rental properties.
Mainstream Mainstream Voucher closed
Mainstream Vouchers at Flagstaff Housing Authority are specifically designated for non-elderly individuals with disabilities. These vouchers work like standard HCVs but are reserved for this population and often have separate, shorter waitlists.
PBV Project-Based Voucher (PBV) closed
Project-Based Vouchers at Flagstaff Housing Authority are attached to specific apartment complexes or units in Flagstaff. Unlike the standard Housing Choice Voucher, PBV assistance stays with the property — not with you. However, after one year of occupancy, you may request a standard portable voucher. PBV waitlists often move faster because fewer applicants know about them.
RAD Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) closed
The Rental Assistance Demonstration program at Flagstaff Housing Authority converts Public Housing units to project-based assistance with long-term contracts. RAD units in Flagstaff maintain the same resident protections as Public Housing while enabling capital improvements to the properties.
