Protect Yourself From Rental Scams
Never wire money upfront

Legitimate landlords do not require wire transfers, Zelle, Cash App, or gift cards before a signed lease. Always tour the unit in person first.

Verify before you commit

Confirm the agent's license at dos.ny.gov and never submit personal documents (SSN, bank info) until you have a signed agreement with a verified party.

01

Apply for a voucher

Contact your local Public Housing Authority (PHA) to apply for a Housing Choice Voucher. Wait times vary — apply as early as possible.

02

Find a qualifying unit

Browse listings on this page — every property here has been verified to accept vouchers. Contact the landlord and mention your voucher type.

03

Request an inspection

Your PHA will inspect the unit to confirm it meets HUD's Housing Quality Standards (HQS). This is required before moving in.

04

Sign the lease

Once the unit passes inspection and rent is approved, sign the lease and a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract with the landlord.

05

Pay your portion

You pay only the difference between the approved rent and the subsidy. The PHA pays the landlord directly for the rest each month.

06

Renew annually

Vouchers are recertified annually. Maintain your eligibility by reporting income changes and keeping the unit in good condition.

Need help applying? Visit HUD.gov or call 1-800-569-4287 to find your local PHA office.

Quick eligibility check

This is a general guide — only your local PHA can make an official determination. Income limits vary by location and family size.

Who qualifies?

Generally, households earning below 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI). PHAs must serve at least 75% of applicants at or below 30% AMI.

Citizenship

At least one household member must be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen. Mixed-status families may receive partial assistance.

Background check

PHAs screen for criminal history. Certain convictions (meth, lifetime sex offender registration) are federally prohibited from receiving vouchers.

Waitlists

Demand far exceeds supply. Many PHAs have closed waitlists. Sign up for multiple PHAs in different areas to improve your chances.

Protect Yourself From Rental Scams
PHAs do not charge fees

Your local PHA will never charge a fee to apply for or transfer a voucher. Anyone asking you to pay to "activate" a voucher is committing fraud.

Never pay before the HAP contract

No legitimate landlord will ask for a deposit before the PHA inspects the unit and issues a Housing Assistance Payment contract. Walk away if pressured.
