Public Housing (Non-HCV/Section 8) Program Waiting List
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Public Housing Program (non-HCV/Section
8) provides assistance to help low income persons afford safe, decent and
sanitary housing. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
provides funds to the Sacramento Housing Authority to administer the program
in City and County of Sacramento. Eligible families/individuals pay a
portion of their income towards the rent once they select a Public Housing
unit that becomes available. Click here to view the Notice of Pre-Application Process [PDF] [Text] Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The best way is to go to www.sacwaitlist.com when the Wait List opens on Monday, August 11, 2008 at 12:01 a.m., to submit your pre-application electronically. The pre-application will be submitted immediately and you will receive a confirmation number that is your receipt. You can print that right away. You can submit an electronic pre-application from any computer with Internet access (from your home or computers are available at libraries throughout the County for your use at no charge). The deadline for submitting applications is 11:59 p.m. on Friday, August 22, 2008. Or, you can pick up a paper application from one of the locations listed below:
Fill out the paper pre-application and mail it in to the address listed at the bottom of the pre-application. Do not submit your pre-application to any of the SHRA offices. Mailed pre-applications must be postmarked by midnight August 22 and received by September 5, 2008. When will I hear from someone about my pre-application? If you submit your pre-application electronically, you will receive an electronic confirmation number that is your receipt. Write down this number and keep it for your records. If you submit a paper pre-application, a receipt will be sent to you in November 2008. How will the pre-applications be sorted? All applicants will be placed in order according to a computerized random selection. The Housing Authority will use this process to create a waiting list of 10,000 families. All families who apply will be notified in November whether they were selected or not selected for the waiting list. If I turn in my pre-application first, will I be assisted first? No. See above. What if I am already on the Public Housing waiting list? Should I reapply? You do not need to reapply. A family can be on the waiting list only once—duplicate entries will be deleted. Make sure that you continue to report any changes in address, income and family composition immediately. What if I am already on the HCV (Section 8) waiting list? Should I apply? Yes. If you are already on the HCV waiting list but not on the Public Housing waiting list, you are invited to apply. What if someone in my family does not have a social security number? Enter all 9s in the spaces. What if I submit more than one pre-application? Only one pre-application will be received per household. Duplicates will be eliminated. Please do NOT submit more than one pre-application. What if I don’t get on the waiting list this time? The Housing Authority will be opening the waiting list again in approximately 2 years. |
