Housing Programs

The Orlando Housing Authority administers various rental assistance programs in the public and private sector. 

What programs are available?  

In order to receive housing assistance, an applicant must meet all basic eligibility requirements.  The applicant must be defined as a family and must be income-eligible to participate in the rental assistance programs; this also includes single persons.  The Admissions & Occupancy Department determines who is eligible to receive assistance under each specific program. 

Applicants who apply for housing assistance are placed on a waiting list for the program in which they apply.  Tenant Selection is based on housing needs and local preferences.  Applicants with no local preference are placed on the waiting list with a “no preference” status. 

When can I complete an application?

Applications are being accepted for Public Housing every Wednesday, from 8:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.  In order to apply you must bring a current valid Photo Identification card and Social Security card. (NO EXCEPTIONS)
 

The Orlando Housing Authority selects applicants for housing assistance based on ‘local preferences’.
