Section 8 & HUD affordable housing across California
Browse 58 counties and 53 small towns and rural communities in California. Each page lists FY2024 Fair Market Rent for studio–4BR units, HUD income limits at 30/50/80% of AMI, and the housing authority that processes Section 8 vouchers locally.
How HUD housing data is organized in California
HUD publishes Fair Market Rent and income limits at the county or metropolitan area level, not the city level — so two towns inside the same California county will share the same FMR ceiling and the same income-eligibility brackets. That's why this directory leads with counties: the county page is the single most useful starting point for anyone navigating the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program in non-metro California.
Below you'll find every county in California, separated into rural / non-metro counties (where this site focuses) and larger or metro counties. After the county lists, scroll down for the alphabetized index of small towns and unincorporated communities we cover in this state.
