Other Programs
5 programsThese programs are administered by this housing authority but do not have active waitlist openings at this time. Statuses are verified nightly and subscribers will be notified when changes are detected.
Applications to the waiting list are still being accepted. We are not currently pulling applicants off of our waiting list, as all of our available funding is in use. When we have funding available for reuse or gain additional funding, we will begin to pull applicants from our waiting list.
No current waiting list information found for Mainstream Voucher programs.
Project-Based Vouchers are tied to specific housing units rather than following the tenant. Landlords or developers partner with the housing authority to reserve units for eligible low-income families. Unlike tenant-based HCV vouchers, PBV assistance stays with the unit if the tenant moves.
