The Housing Choice Voucher Program Waiting List is for people who have applied for rental assistance but are still waiting to receive rental assistance. All applicants will be placed on the waiting list in accordance with a preference system. The PHA must review each complete application received and make a preliminary assessment of the family’s eligibility. Applicants will be placed on the waiting list according to any preferences(s) for which they qualify, and the date and time the complete application is received by the PHA.
