Voucher Wait
List
The Section 8 Waiting List is now
CLOSED.
If you submitted a Section 8
Waiting List registration during the week of April 24-28, 2006, please note
the following:
►
Placing
your name on the Waiting List does not give you any rights to be admitted to
the program, guarantee your future eligibility or assure that subsidy funds
will be available.
►
Your name will be placed on the
Waiting List in an order determined by computerized random selection, and
not by date and time of receipt of registration.
► The
Housing Authority sent notification of your placement on the
Waiting List during the last week of September 2006. If you have
not received your placement letter, please contact the Customer Service Unit
at (408) 275-8770 for further assistance.
► Your
position number was randomly selected by a computer program and
cannot be changed. Your position number is the order in which you
will be selected for assistance form the Waiting List.
►
The
Housing Authority does not have preferences for disabled, elderly or
homeless registrants or persons in a crisis housing situation. Therefore,
there is no opportunity for you to be assisted ahead of your position on the
Waiting List. If you are in need of emergency housing assistance, please
refer to the following websites for a list of homeless shelters and
affordable, subsidized apartments in Santa Clara County:
