Check your spam or junk folder. We contact applicants by email and phone. Our emails can land in your spam or junk folder, so check it often and add our email address to your contacts.

How applications are handled

Applications are handled first come, first served, by the date and time you applied.

When it is your turn, we will contact you by email or phone. If you do not respond, we move on to the next applicant.

Keep your application current

Keep your email address, phone number and mailing address current in your application, so we can reach you when it is your turn.

When we contact you

Do not send documents until we ask for them, because some documents are time-sensitive.

When you are called for intake, bring every item on the Applicant Intake Checklist (on our Forms page). Applicants who arrive without every required item will not be seen.

Waiting list scam alert

There is never a charge to apply for public housing. Do not pay any website or person who says they can put you on a waiting list or move you up. If anyone asks you for money to get on a waiting list, report it to your local HUD office.
