Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach Housing Choice Voucher Waiting List

The Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach (HACMB) Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher waiting list is currently closed. It was last open for five days in January 2016. There is no notice of when this waiting list will reopen.


Miami Beach, FL is about 5 miles east of Miami, FL.


Please note: This waiting list has preferences. This means that applicants who qualify for these preferences will receive assistance before applicants who do not. Because of these preferences, applicants who do not qualify may have a longer wait to receive assistance.



To apply during the opening period, applicants were required to complete the online pre-application.


The following preferences were identified: Elderly (62+), disabled, live or work in Miami Beach, U.S. veteran or spouse of veteran.


2,000 applicants were placed on the waiting list by random lottery.


Important note: Applicants will receive a confirmation number when either applying, or being placed on the waiting list, depending on housing authority policy. It is important to keep that number in a safe, easy to access place. It will be needed any time when referencing your pre-application with the housing authority.


If any of your application information changes from the time you submitted the original pre-application (such as contact information, income, and household members), inform the housing authority immediately. In the case that the office sends a notice that does not get returned, or if application information is out of date, your name may be terminated from the waiting list. Please contact the housing authority to find out its policy on updating pre-application information.
