The Housing Choice Voucher Program does not provide emergency assistance and is not a homeless prevention program. Currently the average wait time is at least three years.
Only those applicants who make the lottery selection for waitlist placement will be notified in writing no later than May 23, 2012. We will not notify the applicants that did not make the lottery selection.
