Complete Guide to Section 8 & Public Housing in North Dakota

North Dakota has 26 housing authorities managing a combined 165 waiting lists across Section 8 (HCV), Public Housing, and Project-Based Voucher programs. Currently, 71 of those lists are accepting applications — an open rate of approximately 43%. This data was last verified on Oct 5, 2026.

Those agencies administer roughly 11,641 assisted housing units statewide — 1,349 public housing units and 10,292 Housing Choice Vouchers, across 19 counties. Income limits are set by HUD per county or metro area, so eligibility thresholds differ between agencies within North Dakota.

The affordable housing programs tracked in North Dakota include Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) (8 open), Public Housing (14 open), Project-Based Vouchers (PBV) (5 open), Mainstream (2 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 North Dakota right now are Fargo (30), Bismarck (10), Minot (8), Grand Forks (7), and Dickinson (4) . Applicants who are flexible about location will generally receive assistance sooner than those who apply to a single waitlist in a high-demand area.
