About This Data
Waitlist status for Greenville is verified through our automated nightly tracker, which checks Greenville Housing Authority's public website for changes to their Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program status. We only mark a waitlist as open when the housing authority's website clearly and unambiguously states the HCV program is currently accepting applications from the general public.
Section 8 waitlist status can change with little or no advance notice. Some housing authorities update their websites infrequently, use applicant portals that require a login to check status, or use language our system may not catch. Our tracker monitors over 2,148 HCV programs nightly across all 50 states — but it is not a guarantee of accuracy.
Always confirm current status directly with Greenville Housing Authority at 864-467-4250 before taking any action. Use our live waitlist tracker to monitor open Section 8 waitlists across all 2,148 programs nightly.
