What HUD's PIH Record for Housing Authority City of Othello Tells You

Housing Authority City of Othello appears in HUD's Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Open Data directory as one of 3,780 Public Housing Authorities nationwide that administer the Section 8 / Housing Choice Voucher program, a group in which WA is represented. HUD records 0 currently authorized Section 8 / HCV units for this agency, against 55 total authorized units across all programs (public housing, HCV, and any Moderate Rehabilitation stock). HUD classifies this PHA under the "High Performer" size bracket, a designation that determines reporting cadence and oversight intensity.

HUD records the program type as "Low-Rent", which shapes which voucher streams (regular HCV, VASH, Family Unification, Mainstream, or project-based conversions) this agency can operate. 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 the authorized-unit count is a ceiling, not a guarantee of current availability.

Across WA's 35 HUD FMR areas, the FY2025 2-bedroom payment standard ranges from $933 to $2,671/month (median $1,257); each PHA sets its own within 90–110% of HUD's Fair Market Rent for the specific area it serves, so confirm the figure for your metro with the agency or the payment-standard lookup.

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 "Housing Authority City of Othello 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 WA's 35 HUD FMR areas, the FY2025 2-bedroom payment standard ranges $933–$2,671/month (median $1,257). Housing Authority City of Othello 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.
