Section 8

The Massachusetts Section 8 Centralized Waiting List is a partnership of 103 Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This partnership streamlines the application process for a Section 8 Voucher. The centralized waiting list opened on January 6, 2003 and will remain open and accept applications indefinitely.

Applicants submit one application to the centralized waiting list system on Affordablehousing.com. Their application is then available to all 103 participating PHAs. Each participating PHA selects participants to their Section 8 Voucher program off of the centralized waiting list in accordance with their local policy.
