Section 8 housing in Ruston, LA

HUD's records list 6 assisted properties in Ruston, holding 142 subsidized apartments. At these buildings the subsidy stays with the unit, so you apply at the property itself — you do not need a voucher in hand first.

What this list is — and is not

These are HUD-assisted (project-based) properties, published by HUD. This is not a list of private landlords who accept a Housing Choice Voucher. No such official list exists anywhere, and anyone charging you for one is selling guesswork.

Each property runs its own waiting list, separate from the housing authority's. Call before you visit — some have been full for years, others open up without notice.
