Scale profile for Parma Public Housing Agency

With 802 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, Parma Public Housing Agency sits at the 82nd percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 63rd 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).

Parma Public Housing Agency: What the HUD Directory Shows

Parma Public Housing Agency 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 802 Section 8 / HCV units. HUD's PHAS system places it in the "Standard Performer" size bracket, which shapes reporting cadence and oversight intensity.

HUD's directory categorizes it under the "Section 8" program type, the classification that governs which voucher streams -- regular HCV, VASH, Family Unification, Mainstream, or project-based conversions -- it is eligible to run. By Section 8 unit count among OH agencies, it lands at the 63rd percentile, larger than 63% of its in-state peers. The federal rulebook lets every PHA set its own waitlist rules, admissions plan, and local preferences, so this authorized-unit total is best read as a program cap, not a live vacancy count.

its main line is 2166612015. 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); Parma Public Housing Agency 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 Parma Public Housing Agency

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 "Parma Public Housing Agency 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). Parma Public Housing Agency 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.
