What HUD's PIH Record for Indiana Tells You
Indiana sits mid-pack in HUD's PIH directory: #26 of 51 states and DC by PHA headcount, with 54 records (1% of the 3,780 U.S. total) reporting 46,237 authorized Section 8 / HCV units combined. Across all HUD programs (public housing, HCV, and related subsidy streams) those same records report 10,725 total units. 10 of these records (19%) report zero authorized HCV units; that source field does not establish an active voucher program, a waitlist, or an application route.
Payment standards inside IN metros are set at 90–110% of HUD FY2026 Fair Market Rent, cross-referenced in our payment standards directory, so voucher value is metro-specific even within the same state. A city, county, regional, or statewide authority may share the state; the directory does not determine service-area eligibility, waitlist status, or whether an agency is accepting applications, use the source contact details to verify a specific agency's current programs. See the waitlist guide for general federal-program context and the portability guide for federal move rules.
