How to Apply for Public HousingWhat Happens Next?
Once your application has been received, it will be checked for completeness, entered into our system and you will be placed on our waiting list. As your name moves toward the top of our waiting list, you will be contacted for a pre-leasing interview to make sure that you are eligible for our program and provide updated information. If you are eligible, you will be called when an apartment with the right number of bedrooms becomes available to view. If you decide to take the apartment, then final move-in paperwork will be completed and keys will be issued.
