HRA IN AND FOR THE CITY OF ALBERT LEA, MINNESOTA: What the HUD Directory Shows

HUD authorizes 159 Section 8 / HCV units for this agency, against 179 total authorized units across every HUD program combined.

Ranked by Section 8 unit count within MN, it sits at the 72nd percentile there, ahead of 72% of MN PHAs by that measure.

How to apply at HRA IN AND FOR THE CITY OF ALBERT LEA, MINNESOTA

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 "HRA IN AND FOR THE CITY OF ALBERT LEA, MINNESOTA 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). HRA IN AND FOR THE CITY OF ALBERT LEA, MINNESOTA 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.
