📝 Waitlist Information
⚠️ Our Waitlist is Currently Closed
At this time, the Pinellas County Housing Authority (PCHA) is not accepting new applications for our Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) or Public Housing waitlists.
We understand how important affordable housing is to our community, and we encourage you to check this page regularly for updates. Any future openings will be announced right here and shared on PCHA’s official website and social media channels.
🕓 When Will the Waitlist Reopen?

-
Post a public notice on this website. 🌐

Share updates on our Social Media pages. 📱

Issue a public announcement in local media outlets. 📰
Please note: We do not maintain an interest list outside of official openings.
