Complete Guide to Section 8 & Public Housing in Indiana

Indiana has 54 housing authorities managing a combined 195 waiting lists across Section 8 (HCV), Public Housing, and Project-Based Voucher programs. Currently, 72 of those lists are accepting applications — an open rate of approximately 37%. This data was last verified on Oct 5, 2026.

Those agencies administer roughly 56,805 assisted housing units statewide — 10,725 public housing units and 46,080 Housing Choice Vouchers, across 41 counties. Income limits are set by HUD per county or metro area, so eligibility thresholds differ between agencies within Indiana.

The affordable housing programs tracked in Indiana include Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) (14 open), Public Housing (26 open), Project-Based Vouchers (PBV) (5 open), Mainstream (1 open), RAD. Each program has its own eligibility criteria, application process, and wait times. In most cases, applicants can apply to multiple program types at the same housing authority, and there is no limit to the number of housing authorities you can apply to statewide.

The cities with the most open waitlists in Indiana right now are Anderson (13), Fort Wayne (6), Indianapolis (6), Seymour (4), and Lafayette (3) . Applicants who are flexible about location will generally receive assistance sooner than those who apply to a single waitlist in a high-demand area.
