How long will I be on the waiting list before I receive a voucher?
There is a great need for the housing subsidy. The Housing Choice Voucher Program is not an entitlement program. It is a limited resource and no one is guaranteed to receive a voucher.

The Housing Authority has established preferences to ensure that those with the greatest need are the first served. Generally, an accepted applicant can expect to wait approximately four to six months for a voucher if they are in the top preference group.

Those with lower preference could wait one to two years or longer. You may apply to more than one housing authority's waiting list.
