Public Housing Agencies, commonly referred to as Housing Authorities and abbreviated as PHAs, are federally funded and regulated organizations tasked with developing long-term, sustainable housing strategies for the communities they serve.
Housing authorities offer many services for those within their jurisdiction, most notably the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher and Public Housing programs. Each housing authority participates in a different array of programs to best meet the needs of their community.
There are 34 public housing agencies in West Virginia managing a total of 59 affordable housing waiting lists that are open now or opening soon.
West Virginia housing authorities serve 22556 households through public housing and housing choice voucher programs. West Virginia's PHAs serve the most vulnerable residents with 47 percent of renter households in the state earning less than half the Area Median Income.

Wait until you have a Section 8 voucher to find housing.
It usually takes months or years to reach the top of a Section 8 HCV waiting list. Any apartments you see now will likely not be available when you get your voucher.Hope Brown says:
