Public housing is owned by a housing authority — you apply with that agency, not at the building.

This page lists project-based Section 8, tax-credit apartments in Saint Paul, MN 55113. Estimate voucher rent share with the Section 8 calculator.

HUD's 2027 fair market rent for a 2-bedroom near Saint Paul, MN 55113 is $1,760 a month (rent plus utilities for a modest unit).
