Housing authorities across Puerto Rico administer public housing communities and rental voucher programs funded by HUD to help low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities afford safe housing in communities throughout the state.
Residents of Puerto Rico seeking affordable housing assistance should contact their local housing authority immediately — waitlists for public housing and Section 8 vouchers are often years long, so early application is essential.
Residents of Puerto Rico who are on a housing authority waitlist should update their contact information any time they move or change phone numbers, as missing a notification letter can result in removal from the waitlist and the need to reapply.
