Once your family is selected to receive benefits from the Housing Choice Voucher Program, you will be contacted by your PHA and your eligibility will be reaffirmed. If you are currently on a closed or open Section 8 waiting list, it is imperative that you inform your PHA of any changes to your mailing address or contact information, should these changes occur. These lists are carefully monitored by the public housing agency that accepted the family’s application and confirmed their eligibility. What is a Section 8 waiting list?Ī Section 8 waiting list is made up of families and households that qualify for the Housing Choice Voucher Program, but cannot yet receive assistance due to a shortage of funds or housing vouchers. If you have been placed on a Section 8 waiting list, it is worth taking the time to learn more about these lists, including the average amount of time to remain on a waiting list, how local preferences affect applicants and why you should apply with more than one public housing agency whenever possible. A closed list signifies that the PHA has already received far more qualifying applicants than current funding allows them to assist. An open section 8 waiting list means that the PHA is still accepting applications for the Housing Choice Voucher Program. To handle the staggering amount of applicants, each public housing agency (PHA) has created a Section 8 waiting list.
Unfortunately, the demand for housing assistance within the United States far exceeds the amount of funding that is available for the program.
