Section 8 & HUD affordable housing across Minnesota
Browse 87 counties and 37 small towns and rural communities in Minnesota. 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 Minnesota
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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota.
Below you'll find every county in Minnesota, 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.
