Area-wide waitlists
Ohio Section 8 and public housing waitlists
Ohio has 2 open area-wide waitlists on Fair Shot Housing right now: 2 for Section 8 vouchers. One waitlist for a whole city or county, run by a local housing office. It is not for one building.
2 of these 2 lists post an income limit we can check. For the others, check the rules on the housing office's page.

What to check before you apply
Check the housing office’s own website for lists we haven’t added. This is not every waitlist in Ohio. It holds the lists we found on housing offices’ own websites that were open when we last checked (Oct 6). Lists that are closed are not shown, and the housing office decides who qualifies and when a list opens. For one particular building, search the homes in Ohio.
