Every figure is worked out from the open listings above and changes as listings open and close. Each program sets its own income limit, often as a share of the area median income (the middle income in the area), so limits differ from listing to listing.

Apply-direct buildings in Arizona

Besides the open listings above, Arizona has 646 apply-direct buildings. There is no lottery to enter: you call the building (or the local housing office, for public housing) and ask if its waitlist is open. What is an apply-direct building?

We count every building in the state. A building can be in more than one group, so the groups add up to more than 646. The list comes from HUD, the federal housing department (public housing, Section 8, senior and disability buildings, and tax-credit buildings), downloaded October 5, 2026. It does not say whether a waitlist is open, and some waitlists are closed or years long.

Questions about affordable housing in Arizona

What kinds of affordable housing listings are open in Arizona?

Arizona has 1 waitlist open right now. Each listing says whether it is a lottery, a waitlist or first come.

How much does affordable housing cost in Arizona?

Posted rents in Arizona run from $862 to $1,188 a month, and the median starting rent is $862. Homes for sale are posted from $190,000 to $238,000. Rents in income-restricted rentals are usually set by a program formula tied to the middle income in the area (the area median income) instead of the market, so they are often lower than similar homes nearby.

What income do I need to qualify for affordable housing in Arizona?

The listings in Arizona mostly do not post income limits by household size, so the program tells applicants on its own page or application. We never guess a limit. Some programs also set a minimum income, and limits are higher for larger households. Both differ from listing to listing. The free qualify check compares your household with the income limit and rules on each open listing.

Can I apply online for affordable housing in Arizona?

None of the 5 open listings in Arizona that we track has an online application; they use paper, email or in-person steps. Listings here link to pcclt.org (4 listings) and kkrc.myresman.com (1 listing). Check each listing for any application fee the program states, and be careful with anyone who asks you to pay to enter a lottery.

When is the next housing deadline in Arizona?

None of the open listings in Arizona posts a deadline that is still ahead. Waitlists and first come listings stay open until the program closes them, so the listing page is the place to check the latest status.
