It’s important to keep your application up-to-date. Applicants should update their application anytime there is a change in family composition, address, phone, email, income or waiting list preferences. If a housing agency is not able to reach you, your application may be removed from the waiting list.

To make changes to your application, log into your account on www.AffordableHousing.com and update changes to your application. Updating once will update your application on all waiting lists you’ve applied to thru www.AffordableHousing.com.

Due to the high demand for housing assistance, waiting lists are generally very long and could take years for an application to come to the top of the list. Each PHA may give an estimated wait time and/or actual placement on the list at their own discretion, and will vary depending on any waiting list preferences that a housing agency may have.

While you are waiting to reach the top of a waiting list, you can search for other open waiting lists on www.AffordableHousing.com and sign up to receive alerts when a waiting list opens. We list open waiting lists on a wide range of affordable housing from Section 8 Vouchers and Public Housing to tax-credit housing and other affordable housing options. You may also search our nationwide database of open below-market rental units available now.

It is important to check on the status of your application from time-to-time to assure that it is still active on the waiting list(s). Inactive application may be removed from a waiting list by a housing agency.

To check the status of your application, log into your account on www.AffordableHousing.com and view your application status for all waiting lists you applied to through our website. If you were removed from a waiting list, you may be able to re-apply instantly online.

If your application was removed from a waiting list you may be able to re-apply directly online. If you want more information on your removal please contact the housing agency that removed your application from their waiting list. Please note, each housing agency may have varying policies on appealing a removal from the waiting list.
