The Section 8 (HCV) waitlist is currently closed. The last opening on June 21, 2024, accepted 100 applications via a call-in procedure only. Preferences are given to extremely low income, elderly, and disabled applicants; non-resident applicants had to lease within the jurisdiction for one year before using portability (unless approved).
Applications were accepted via a call-in procedure only until 20 applications were received. Households must include a non-elderly person with a disability (ages 18-62).
The Public Housing waiting list is currently closed and is not scheduled to open anytime soon. Rent is based on household income for 2, 3, and 4 bedrooms; a $300.00 security deposit and pro-rated rent are required. This program does not accept Section 8 vouchers. Applications can be picked up in-person at 1425 Eagle Drive, Thibodaux, La 70301.
Project-Based Vouchers are tied to specific housing units rather than following the tenant. Landlords or developers partner with the housing authority to reserve units for eligible low-income families. Unlike tenant-based HCV vouchers, PBV assistance stays with the unit if the tenant moves.
The Rental Assistance Demonstration program converts Public Housing units to project-based assistance, allowing housing authorities to leverage private funding for property rehabilitation while preserving long-term affordability for residents.
