BECKER COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY: What the HUD Directory Shows
This agency's HUD authorization runs to 77 Section 8 / HCV units, out of 25 total authorized units when every HUD program is counted. That count sits inside HUD's national PIH roster of 3,780 Section 8 agencies, MN's share of the total, where BECKER COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY is listed as an active administering entity. Under HUD's PHAS scoring, this agency carries a "Standard Performer" designation, a bracket that affects how often it reports and how closely HUD oversees it.
HUD's directory categorizes it under the "Combined" program type, the classification that governs which voucher streams -- regular HCV, VASH, Family Unification, Mainstream, or project-based conversions -- it is eligible to run. By Section 8 unit count among MN agencies, it lands at the 60th percentile, larger than 60% of its in-state peers. HUD sets the ceiling; each PHA still runs its own waitlist, admissions plan, and local preferences under the federal Section 8 rulebook, so the number above caps capacity without guaranteeing an open list today.
its main line is 2188475641. Use the nearby-PHA list below to broaden your waitlist strategy across the state. Across MN's 73 HUD FMR areas, the FY2025 2-bedroom payment standard runs $933-$1,685/month (median $933); BECKER COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY sets its own figure within 90-110% of HUD's Fair Market Rent for the specific area it serves, so confirm the exact number for your metro before signing anything.

How to apply at BECKER COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
How to apply at this PHA
Before applying, confirm whether this PHA's waitlist is currently open. Waitlist status can change without much notice, some PHAs open for as little as 72 hours at a time. Application channels typically include:
- The PHA's own website (search "BECKER COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Section 8 application")
- A public notice posted at the PHA office or in the legal notices of the local newspaper
- HUD-approved housing counseling agencies in the area
- Local legal-aid and tenant-advocacy groups
See our step-by-step How to Apply for Section 8 guide for the full federal application process.
What to expect, typical waitlist
HUD does not publish current waitlist open/closed status centrally, and waitlist lengths vary sharply by local demand. In high-cost metros, waits can exceed 5–10 years and many waitlists are closed. In smaller cities and rural counties, waits of 6 months to 3 years are more typical. Some PHAs use a lottery rather than first-come-first-served. This site does not predict your individual wait time. Contact the PHA directly to confirm the current list status and whether local preferences apply to your household. Our waitlist strategy guide explains how to maximize your odds by applying to multiple PHAs.
Payment standard reference
Payment standards are set per HUD FMR area, not per agency. Across MN's 73 HUD FMR areas, the FY2025 2-bedroom payment standard ranges $933–$1,685/month (median $933). BECKER COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY sets its own figure within 90–110% of HUD's Fair Market Rent for the specific area it serves.
Find your exact number: look up the 2-, 1-, and 3-bedroom payment standards for your metro with the payment-standard lookup tool, then confirm the current figure with the PHA before signing a lease. See our Payment Standards vs. FMR guide.
