How can I find out what area a PHA serves?
Each PHA serves specific cities, counties, or an entire state. The scope of a PHA's jurisdiction can be found on the PHA's website, on AffordableHousing.com's database, or on the PHA's Annual Plan. Note that Section 8 rental assistance can stay with you if you move — whether it’s down the block or to a different state. It is necessary, however, to transfer your voucher to another PHA if your family is moving outside of the current PHA's jurisdiction.
