About This Program in Rhode Island
In Providence, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Providence Housing Authority (PHA). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in a PHA community or with a voucher used in private housing.
How to Apply in Rhode Island
Apply through PHA at provhousing.org when waitlists are open. Rhode Island protects renters from source-of-income discrimination statewide (Fair Housing Practices Act, amended April 15, 2021), so most landlords cannot refuse a Housing Choice Voucher — owner-occupied two- and three-unit dwellings are exempt. Call PHA at (401) 751-6400.
