sfha.myhousing.com
sfha.myhousing.com is the online MyHousing portal used by the Housing Authority of the City and County of San Francisco for housing applicants, participants, and landlords.
What can you do on SFHA MyHousing?
The portal puts several San Francisco housing services in one online place.
Applicants can use MyHousing when the Housing Authority opens a housing waiting list.
People who already applied can also use the portal to manage information connected to their application.
This can include changes to an address, phone number, or household information.
The official SFHA waiting list page is the best place to check which housing programs are open before starting an application.
As of August 28, 2026, that page lists the Housing Choice Voucher, Project Based Voucher, Rental Assistance Demonstration, and Public Housing waiting lists as closed.
The MyHousing home page also says that no waiting lists are currently open.
Can you check an old housing application?
Yes, people who joined a past lottery may still need MyHousing even when new applications are closed.
SFHA provides an online waitlist lottery lookup for checking results from eligible past applications.
A confirmation number is important because SFHA tells applicants to save it after submitting an application.
That number can help a person check lottery information and keep track of the application later.
Being chosen in a lottery does not automatically mean that a person will receive housing.
It normally means the applicant may be placed on a waiting list and reviewed under the rules of that housing program.
How does the applicant account work?
A person who is already on at least one waiting list can use the applicant registration page to begin setting up an account.
The system asks for personal details so it can match the person with an existing SFHA record.
SFHA says selected applicants can use the applicant portal to update information when their family or contact details change.
This matters because old contact information can make it harder for the Housing Authority to reach an applicant.
The official Project Based Voucher guidance also explains how applicants can update household members and other application details.
What can landlords do in MyHousing?
MyHousing also has a separate service for landlords who work with SFHA housing assistance programs.
SFHA moved Housing Choice Voucher landlords receiving Housing Assistance Payments to the new MyHousing Landlord Portal starting February 17, 2025.
Eligible landlords can use the MyHousing login page to register or sign in.
The landlord tools can show Housing Assistance Payment information, tenant rent portions, tax forms, and inspection information.
The official SFHA property owner page says landlords can see scheduled and completed inspections along with real-time payment information.
Registration requires information that can identify the landlord in SFHA records, including a Tax ID and an active email address.
Is sfha.myhousing.com a real SFHA website?
The strongest sign is that the official SFHA website directly tells applicants and landlords to use sfha.myhousing.com for these services.
The portal itself also identifies the service as MyHousing for the Housing Authority of the City and County of San Francisco.
Users should still check the address bar carefully because housing applications can involve private personal information.
A safe habit is to reach the portal through SFHA.org or type the correct sfha.myhousing.com address instead of trusting an unexpected message.
People should also avoid giving passwords or sensitive account details to anyone who contacts them without a clear reason.
Does it cost money to apply for SFHA housing?
SFHA has stated that there is no fee for completing its online housing waitlist application.
This is useful to remember because a person asking for money just to submit an SFHA waitlist application should be treated with caution.
Housing eligibility depends on program rules rather than paying an application fee.
The Housing Authority publishes its main eligibility and income information separately so families can review basic requirements.
What should you do if MyHousing does not work?
First, check whether you are using the applicant, landlord, or general application part of the portal because each serves a different purpose.
The login page also provides a password recovery option for people who already have an account.
If the account still cannot be accessed, the official SFHA contact page lists the Customer Care Center at 415-715-5200 and CustomerCare@sfha.org.
SFHA currently lists normal Customer Care hours as Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The most useful approach is to check the official waitlist status first, use MyHousing for the correct account task, and contact SFHA directly when account or application information does not match what you expect.
