About PHAs in Union County

Each Public Housing Authority listed above is a separate local agency with its own administrative plan, its own waitlists, and its own selection preferences. If you are applying for housing assistance in Union County, it is generally smart to apply to multiple PHAs in your area — there is no penalty for being on more than one list, and waitlists move at very different speeds even within a single county.
