The Bethlehem Housing Authority Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program waiting list is currently closed.According to the housing authority's most recent 5 year plan completed in 2010, the Section 8 waiting list was open at that time. In 2010, the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher waiting list had a total of 624 families on it. The Section 8 program experienced an annual turnover of 279 families. Using those metrics, in 2010, it would have taken about 2 years and 3 months to get through the waiting list.According to a news article in The Express Times in 2013, Bethlehem Housing Authority's Section 8 program was negatively affected by the Federal budget sequester and would not be issuing new vouchers as they turn over. The total budget cut was $1 million of its $9.6 million annual budget for vouchers. The housing authority had a reserve fund that allowed it to continue providing assistance to existing voucher holders but would not be filling any vacancies as vouchers became available.
