What To Do After Being Registered In Section 8 Waiting List?

Generally, it takes local offices several weeks to process your application. If the applicant is placed on the waiting list, the order may depend on the time and date of application, or simply by lottery. If not, the offices will inform the applicant of the reasons by mail. Even eligible applicants can be denied due to the lack of resources.

Record your position on the waiting list and keep an eye on the list to estimate your wait time and respond quickly to possible changes.

If there is a change in your current financial situation or other related issues, inform the housing authority in time to confirm your eligibility.

Once you have reached the top of a waiting list, the authority may require all members of the household, or just the applicant to take an in-person interview. Get well prepared for it to gain eligibility.
