About This Program in Louisiana
In New Orleans, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in a HANO community or with a voucher used in private housing.
How to Apply in Louisiana
Apply online through HANO at hano.org when waitlists are open. Important: Louisiana has no source-of-income protection and New Orleans has no local ordinance, so private landlords may legally decline a Housing Choice Voucher — participation is voluntary. Fair Housing protections still apply. Call HANO at (504) 670-3300 or Admissions at (504) 670-3284.
