Section 8 & Affordable Housing Waitlists in Utah
In Utah, Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher and public housing waitlists are run by local public housing authorities — not by HUD or by Lease Lantern. Each authority opens and closes its own lists, sometimes for only a few days at a time, so timing and persistence matter.
How to find and join an open waitlist
- Identify the housing authorities that serve where you want to live (listed below).
- Contact each one to ask whether its Section 8 or public housing waitlist is currently open.
- Apply to every open list you qualify for — many people keep several active at once.
- Have your documents ready: ID, income, household members, and current address.
- Keep your contact info updated with each authority so you don’t lose your place.
Waitlist openings change frequently, so always confirm the current status directly with the authority. Eligibility depends on your household income versus the Utah income limits.
