To ensure the application process is fair and available to all, applications received will be randomly assigned a position on the waiting list. Time and date of application will not be used to establish an applicant’s position on the waiting list. Application status and information regarding placement on the waiting list will be available on-line after July 27, 2020.

The HCV program is a rental housing assistance program funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The program assists very low income persons, families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities to reside in safe, decent, rental housing they can afford.
