Scale profile for Mansfield Metropolitan Housing Authority

With 1,911 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, Mansfield Metropolitan Housing Authority sits at the 92nd percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 87th percentile inside OH. That puts it among the larger local administrators of federal rental assistance, not a single-office rural authority.

Across OH's 68 HUD FMR areas, FY2026 2-bedroom payment standards run $973–$1,433/month (median $980). 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 OH PHAs appear in the nearby list below; comparing authorized-unit counts there shows whether Mansfield Metropolitan Housing Authority is the dominant local issuer or one of several large peers.

Inside HUD's Federal Record for Mansfield Metropolitan Housing Authority

Mansfield Metropolitan Housing Authority appears in HUD's Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Open Data set, one of 3,780 Public Housing Authorities nationwide running the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program alongside every other agency in OH. This agency's HUD authorization runs to 1,911 Section 8 / HCV units.

Ranked by Section 8 unit count within OH, it sits at the 87th percentile there, ahead of 87% of OH PHAs by that measure. HUD logs its program type as "Section 8," which determines which voucher streams (regular HCV, VASH, Family Unification, Mainstream, or project-based conversions) it can run. 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 4195240029. Use the nearby-PHA list below to broaden your waitlist strategy across the state. Across OH's 68 HUD FMR areas, the FY2026 2-bedroom payment standard runs $973-$1,433/month (median $980); Mansfield Metropolitan 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 Mansfield Metropolitan 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 "Mansfield Metropolitan 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 OH's 68 HUD FMR areas, the FY2026 2-bedroom payment standard ranges $973–$1,433/month (median $980). Mansfield Metropolitan 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.
