I'm sorry to say don't get your hopes up that anything will happen overnight. I'm also contacting other programs in the mean time. I'm just trying to save as much as I can as quickly as I can so I can move myself out. I'm still working, albeit underemployed because of a lack of a stable home environment that's exacerbating my conditions. Once I receive and submit it, I was told that it could still take weeks if not months for a review and decision. I haven't even received the housing voucher application yet. I was hoping that the second stimulus would have happened by now because that would have helped me move out on my own since I can't do a shelter with my specific health conditions and there are wait lists with those too. I was told it would be fast-tracked, but that was two weeks ago. In August, I was finally told by a local center for independence rep that they could put in a referral for a mainstream non-elderly disabled housing voucher because I'm experiencing both abuse and risk of homelessness. Programs for people dealing with abuse, especially women, are often funded only for women who have children or who are in intimate partner violence situations, which doesn't apply to my situation. There are still small pots of vouchers for unique situations and subsidized housing, but the income limits for most programs make it difficult because applicants have to be making a percentage of the local median income to prove that they can keep up rental payments after the assistance ends, and the local median income is incredibly high.

#DISABLED HOUSING WAITINGLIST UPDATE#
Make sure to notify DHA in writing within 10 days of your change so we can update your file with the correct information in order to determine your place on the waiting list and so we can contact you for eligibility when the time comes. Question: Do I need to report changes in my address, income, preference and family compositions?Īnswer: Yes. You will receive a letter at your address on record when we have reached your name for determining eligibility. Due to the high volume of applicants, call will only delay the process. Question: Should I call the office to see when vouchers will be given out or where I am on the waiting list?Īnswer: No. Question: How long before I get a voucher?Īnswer: Due to a number of factors, we cannot give a time frame for when vouchers will be issued. Participants find their own housing, including single-family homes, townhouses and apartments. You place on the waiting list will depend on your preferences, not the order in which your application was received. The Housing Choice Voucher (formerly known as Section 8 vouchers) program is the major federal program that assists very low-income families, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. The waiting list is based on preferences. Question: If I am the first person in line, will I get a voucher before everyone else?Īnswer: No. You will be notified via the US Postal Service at the address on your application within 90 days of application to inform you of your waiting list status. Question: When will I be notified of my place on the waiting list?
