Waiting List Information

When will the Housing Choice Voucher waiting list open? 

The HCVP Waiting list is currently closed and we are not accepting pre-applications for placement on the list.  150 eligible households were selected at random from all pre-applications received during the most recent waiting list open period (March 4, 2024 through March 15, 2024)   Households NOT SELECTED for the Waiting List were sent emails notifying them that they were NOT SELECTED on August 9 , 2024.  These notifications were sent to the email address provide in the applicant’s pre-application.  The 150 households that were SELECTED and placed on the HCVP’s 2024 Waiting list were sent email and US mail notifications on August 13, 2024.  We anticipate the current waiting list will re-open in 2026.
