What HUD's PIH Record for New London Housing Authority Tells You
This agency shows 0 active Section 8 / HCV authorizations in HUD's directory right now, but it does still hold 100 total authorized units through other HUD programs. That count sits inside HUD's national PIH roster of 3,780 Section 8 agencies, CT's share of the total, where New London Housing Authority is listed as an active administering entity. Under HUD's PHAS scoring, this agency carries a "Substandard Financial" designation, a bracket that affects how often it reports and how closely HUD oversees it.
HUD logs its program type as "Low-Rent," 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.
Across CT's 12 HUD FMR areas, the FY2025 2-bedroom payment standard runs $1,445-$2,610/month (median $1,797); New London Housing 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. its main line is 8604432851.

How to apply at New London 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 "New London 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 CT's 12 HUD FMR areas, the FY2025 2-bedroom payment standard ranges $1,445–$2,610/month (median $1,797). New London Housing 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.
