I really realize the job that they have could be stressful and cause them to seem short sometimes. So I always try to remember this all in all I think it's a good place that wants to really help it's clients. Maria she's a special one she's always on top of things whether it's for your papers being filled out correctly by the apartment owners or you doing the things that you need to do to get your apartment. Thank you

They were closed to the public but they had a drop box 📦 where you could put your documents into the Dropbox. Because that what I have to do with my documents. And they won't answer the door. You have to call 📞 them in order to get your questions answered.

I’d love to take a moment & rate my review on this specific housing authority. My experience has been nothing short of phenomenal. Taking into consideration, the short staff bc of the pandemic, the housing crisis, Limited resources & these employees working from home. I commend every single individual that is represented here! You men & women go above & beyond to help families out. City of Phoenix handles cases in a timely manner. I do also take into consideration that I am not the only family in need. I understand there are many families such as myself. However, this housing authority has made it their priority to meet the needs of my family & many others just like myself , who have experienced homelessness. I can not say enough, how incredibly grateful I am. As well as my children. The Lord has a special place in heaven for you guys and gals! Keep up the great work & thank you for all that you do!!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

How do I get in low income housing while on probation

Kris Boling | Oct 13, 2017
Gerlizh SticksCMO | Oct 12, 2020

I don't think you're eligible for public housing or section 8 once you have a record of any kind. Especially if it has to do with the sale, distribution or growing of any type of drugs.

Definitely not on Thanksgiving Day, and most likely not on the following Friday. You could check their hours on site, or listen to the recorded information.

Why is my rent is going soo high y I have not made any change in my income

Enrique Luna Dillanez | Oct 13, 2018
Tere Rodriguez | Oct 12, 2021

You rent is high because your landlord is raising your rent.You need to talk to your landlord.

Does anyone know if there is a website or listings for available section 8 rental properties?

Ken Reid | Oct 13, 2019
Kim Williams | Oct 13, 2019

Gosection8.com affordablehousing.com Rentcafe.com

I would like to know, if you have a voucher is there a list of private owners who are listing their properties I would like to have access to that list

Lisa Heath | Oct 13, 2018
Sandra Coleman | Oct 13, 2018

Yes just go down there and ask them for the list

I am moving from the stl housing authority to the city of Phoenix housing authority. Anyone have any suggestions for me on this process. I want to make it as smooth as possible for the kids and I.

If your moving from a house and want a house here in phoenix you wont find it. Or it takes your feet on the ground here. To find private owners who no nothing about section 8 or who havent been jaded buy it. But for a house its hard to find in phoenix. Im in a house and the owner is SELLING so we are forced to downsize into a apt we moved from Wi and have never had a apt before. But if your looking for a apt their slim pickings as well. Your better off going to a out lining city like gelndale, peoria, Avondale, suncity the outlining citys and try to stay north arizona the further past camelback road the badder the schools get. Hope you find something. We need more sistas in the city.

Is it legal if you are renting a house but the landlord states that I am responsible for the first two hundred dollars for repairs. I have painted and brought brand new washer and dryer and refrigerator and stove I have spent a

Marie Knott | Oct 13, 2019
Victoria Radford | Oct 13, 2019

I think it depends on what you signed as far as your lease. If it's in your lease than you are responsible but if not than call a lawyer or at least threaten to. And make sure you add the total cost so it scares them into doing the right thing.

I was just told that starting in March the city of Phoenix will no longer be working with sec 8. Do ANYBODY know if this is really true or not?

Mekia Winfield | Oct 13, 2018
Bryan R | Oct 13, 2018

Well it's August and I have my voucher still and actually moving into a new place at the end of the month. Hope this helps :)

I'M thinking about relocating to Az from Dallas Tx I already live in a retirement community for senior s Where do I start? Would like to move by March 2018

Patricia Hart | Oct 13, 2018

You have to contact your housing authority to send out your relocation papers and they will contact you to come here for your meeting

My rent is getting higher and higher

Enrique Luna Dillanez | Oct 13, 2018
Christine Picaso | Oct 13, 2019

For some reason the rents are being approved to cut into ppls utility allowances when before that only happened IF the landlord included utilities. Now they dont care if you pay the utilities and no other homes in your area which have your floorplan have MUCH lesser rent (though theyre supposed to compare to those homes and adjust accordingly with making rent the same amount as those homes), theyll still approve rent increases even if you have no income and the money is taken away for your utility allowance. Makes no sense. At least before they followed rules on approvals but now theyre just approving increases regardless of wether your left with utility allowance or not and even if you end up paying out of pocket which used to be a huge no no.

How much is my voucher

latorya reed | Sep 14, 2022
bryan gamber | Oct 5, 2022

Most likely it would be 1200 if it's just you

im trying to apply for low income housing im disabled and am caring for my 6yr old grandson and have only disability for my income we r living in a studio apt right now and that takes most of my disability check

lisa rockenbach | Sep 12, 2022
Linda Davis | Sep 12, 2022

You should apply for section 8 voucher program because it very useful 👍 and also it paid majority of your rent and you only need to pay an small amount of your income like 30% or 40% of your income. So when you go 🚶‍♀️ to the Housing Authority ask for a Section 8 application 🤔. You'll find that you could be better at living comfortably, easily with yourself and your grandson.

I work in Scottsdale and want to be in East Phoenix how can I get Section 8

Lee Reeder | Jun 14, 2022
Maria Rice | Jun 14, 2022

Phoenix Section 8 waiting list is closed and has been since 2016. I work at Phoenix Housing Authority. Scottsdale opened their list today (6/1/22 - 6/17/2022). However you must apply then they draw applications lottery style (2200 this go around) and if you're drawn you'll be invited to complete the application process to be placed on the waiting list. You could still be on the list for 5-6 years. It is not easy to get on Section 8. Each city has their own housing authority so you can check Tempe, Mesa, Glendale and others to see if their lists are open.

Can I get emergency housing I'm 60 years old sleeping on my sisters love seat and I'm on disability

Mike Marquez | May 15, 2022
Ronald Davis | May 15, 2022

What's emergency housing? Like the names and numbers of shelters. Because you can get that information from the Internet or you can go there and wait to get the information. If you have the means make what you have better. Buy a fold out couch for your sister's house, and search for a better place. The waiting list is very long and finding a place is just as long.

If a house passes inspection do they let you know that same day?

Stephanie Mendes | Nov 16, 2021
Tina Hernandez | Nov 16, 2021

No they will let u know with in 15 days

Is it legal for a owner to charge you when the house needs repairs.

Marie Knott | Oct 13, 2019
Dedria Ramirez | Oct 13, 2019

Depends on what the repair is. If it's normal wear and tear they shouldn't. But if it is damaged caused by the tenant they do. My water heater busted but the owner had to eat the cost for the repairs and damage.

Wendy Brooks | Oct 13, 2018
Rose M Mc | Oct 13, 2018

Why do they make it so difficult to actually get the forms in and all the data and proof work in on time? Why is there not a drop slot? Why can I never reach my personal case worker on the phone? The service is terrible here and I am in danger of possibly losing my section 8 voucher because I cannot reach them and have had severe medical problems and am late turning in paperwork help...
