Section 8 apartments in 44110 (Collinwood)
Zip code 44110 covers the Collinwood neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio — split into North Collinwood (along Lake Erie) and South Collinwood (south of the railroad). 44110 sits immediately west of East Cleveland''s 44112, and the two zips effectively share a voucher housing market. As part of the City of Cleveland, 44110 falls under Cleveland''s 2022 source-of-income ordinance, which means private landlords cannot legally refuse to rent to you because you have a Section 8 voucher.
44110 is City of Cleveland. Specifically the Collinwood Heights and Glenville-adjacent neighborhoods east of the I-90/Bratenahl corridor. This makes 44110 different from neighboring East Cleveland (44112) in one important way: Cleveland''s 2022 source-of-income protection ordinance applies. A landlord in 44110 cannot refuse you simply because your income includes a voucher.
Neighborhoods inside 44110: North Collinwood (Waterloo Arts District, Beachland Ballroom, Lake Shore Blvd corridor), South Collinwood (residential streets south of the rail yards), parts of Nottingham, and pockets along E 152nd and E 156th. The Waterloo Arts District has seen revitalization in the last decade; much of the rest is older housing stock at low-to-moderate rents.
Voucher housing in 44110: Heavy CMHA HCV history — this zip has had substantial voucher tenancy for decades. Older 2-3 family homes and small apartment buildings dominate the housing stock. Market rents are similar to East Cleveland (often lower in South Collinwood), so vouchers typically cover full rent without overage.
School district: Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD). Local schools include Collinwood High School and several K-8 buildings. Different from East Cleveland''s separate school district.
Adjacent voucher-friendly zips: 44112 (East Cleveland — immediately east), 44108 (Glenville — south), 44119 (Euclid — northeast). Your CMHA voucher works in all of them.

About This Program in Ohio
**CMHA administers Section 8 in 44110.
Key program difference vs East Cleveland: Cleveland''s 2022 source-of-income ordinance (Cleveland Codified Ordinance Chapter 663) prohibits private landlords from refusing tenants based on income source — including Section 8 voucher status. This applies to private rental units in 44110. Federal protections for project-based Section 8, LIHTC, and public housing apply independently.
Programs operating in 44110:
- Standard Section 8 HCV through CMHA
- Project-based Section 8 in scattered buildings
- CMHA public housing developments (44110 has some of CMHA''s scattered-site stock)
- EDEN, Inc. Mainstream Vouchers
- HUD-VASH for veterans
Payment standards vary by ZIP code. Since January 1, 2025, HUD has required CMHA to use Small Area Fair Market Rents, so CMHA sets its voucher payment standards ZIP code by ZIP code, generally between 90% and 110% of HUD's fair market rent for that area. Look up the current standard for any Cuyahoga County ZIP code with CMHA's online payment standard tool, or call CMHA at 216-348-5000.
How to Apply in Ohio
For voucher holders looking at 44110:
- Search broadly. Browse listings here and via CMHA''s landlord directory. Currently our active inventory is concentrated in East Cleveland (44112) — search there for currently available units while also checking other 44110 sources.
- Use the SOI ordinance if you encounter refusal. If a 44110 landlord refuses your application because of voucher status, that''s a violation of Cleveland''s ordinance. Document the refusal in writing (or by text), then file a complaint with the Cleveland Community Relations Board or the Fair Housing Center for Rights & Research.
- Standard CMHA process applies. Once you''ve identified a 44110 unit and a willing landlord, submit Request for Tenancy Approval (RFTA) to CMHA. CMHA inspects for HQS, approves the contract, and pays the voucher portion directly to the landlord.
Tip for 44110 searchers: South Collinwood and the streets south of Lake Shore Blvd typically have the lowest rents in the zip and the strongest voucher acceptance. North Collinwood near the Waterloo Arts District has tighter inventory but is a more walkable area.
