Scale profile for Clarksburg/Harrison Housing Authority

With 632 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, Clarksburg/Harrison Housing Authority sits at the 79th percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 75th percentile inside WV. That puts it among the larger local administrators of federal rental assistance, not a single-office rural authority.

Across WV's 49 HUD FMR areas, FY2026 2-bedroom payment standards run $869–$1,573/month (median $869). A large PHA like this typically serves more than one FMR area, so applicants should look up the metro-specific standard rather than treating the state median as their number. 5 other WV PHAs appear in the nearby list below; comparing authorized-unit counts there shows whether Clarksburg/Harrison Housing Authority is the dominant local issuer or one of several large peers.

Inside HUD's Federal Record for Clarksburg/Harrison Housing Authority

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. Clarksburg/Harrison Housing Authority is one of 3,780 agencies HUD tracks in its PIH Open Data directory for the Section 8 / Housing Choice Voucher program operating in WV. This agency's HUD authorization runs to 632 Section 8 / HCV units, out of 323 total authorized units when every HUD program is counted.

Ranked by Section 8 unit count within WV, it sits at the 75th percentile there, ahead of 75% of WV PHAs by that measure. HUD logs its program type as "Combined," which determines which voucher streams (regular HCV, VASH, Family Unification, Mainstream, or project-based conversions) it can run. Every PHA in the directory runs its own waitlist, publishes its own admissions plan, and sets its own local preferences within the federal Section 8 rulebook, so this authorized-unit figure is a ceiling, not a promise of current availability.

its main line is 3046233322. Use the nearby-PHA list below to broaden your waitlist strategy across the state. Across WV's 49 HUD FMR areas, the FY2026 2-bedroom payment standard runs $869-$1,573/month (median $869); Clarksburg/Harrison Housing Authority sets its own figure within 90-110 percent 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 Clarksburg/Harrison Housing 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 "Clarksburg/Harrison Housing 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 WV's 49 HUD FMR areas, the FY2026 2-bedroom payment standard ranges $869–$1,573/month (median $869). Clarksburg/Harrison Housing Authority sets its own figure within 90–110 percent 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.
