Waitlist Information
Waitlist managed by Portland Housing Authority
The waitlist is currently closed to new applicants for specific properties including Franklin Towers, Bayside East, Bayside Terrace, and Kennedy Park; preferences may apply for elderly, disabled, or families with minor children.
The Maine Section 8/HCV Centralized Waiting List is a partnership of 20 Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) within the State of Maine. Applicants submit one application to the Centralized Waiting List system, operated by AffordableHousing.com, and their application is automatically added to the waiting list for all 20 participating PHAs. Each participating PHA selects participants to their Section 8 Voucher program off of the Centralized Waiting List in accordance with their local policy. Waiting lists are generally very long and could take years for an application to come to the top of the list. Each PHA may give an estimated wait time and/or actual placement on the list at their own discretion, and will vary depending on any waiting list preferences that a housing agency may have.
