1. How do I apply?

The Section 8 HCV waiting list is currently CLOSED.  We are NOT currently accepting new waiting list applications.  

Our Waiting List Announcement was published in the local newspaper and on this webpage to inform potential applicants when the waiting list will open and close. 

If you would like to apply for assistance, you must wait until our waiting list is open once again.  You can check on this page for the most recent public notice.

2. Am I eligible for the program?

Once your household nears the top of the waiting list, the PHA will contact you by mail and schedule an eligibility appointment (in-office) to collect information on family composition, income and assets. The PHA will verify the information with other local agencies, your employer and bank, and will use the information to determine program eligibility.

3. How long will it be before I receive assistance?

It depends on 2 things; how much funding the Housing Authority has available to assist new households and how many waiting list preference points you are eligible for. Typical wait time is 3-months to 1.5 years.

4. How much rental assistance will I get?

The amount of your rental assistance subsidy is calculated by using a HUD-provided formula – we won’t know the exact amount of the assistance until you have established eligibility and found a rental unit that your household qualifies for.
