Public & low-income housing in Berks County
Public housing and Section 8 vouchers come from two housing authorities, one for the City of Reading and one for the county, both with waiting lists that close for long stretches. Privately owned subsidized buildings rent below market to people who qualify by income, and some by age or disability.

We are adding help from agencies, nonprofits and churches across the county, each with who qualifies, what it costs and a phone number we have checked. Meanwhile, dial 211.
Every rule, cost and phone number here comes from the provider. We are a guide to Berks County, not the program: call before you go. If something is wrong, every service page has a report link, and our corrections policy says what happens next.
