About This Program in Syracuse
In Syracuse, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Syracuse Housing Authority (SHA). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in an SHA community or with a voucher used in private housing.
How to Apply in Syracuse
Apply through SHA at syracusehousing.org when waitlists are open. New York protects renters from source-of-income discrimination statewide (Human Rights Law, Executive Law §§ 292, 296, amended 2019), so most landlords cannot refuse a Housing Choice Voucher. Call SHA at (315) 475-6181.
