Housing Choice Voucher Program Wait List Closure

A record 83,743 families and Houstonians applied for the Housing Choice Voucher Program wait list during the week of August 20-26. Houston Housing Authority had an additional 4,047 families apply for the Moderate Rehabilitation program wait list. Houston Housing Authority thanks all of their partners, especially Houston Public Library, Harris County Public Library and Houston Center for Independent Living, for their help in making the wait list opening a huge success.

Houston Housing Authority will conduct a lottery on September 3 to randomly determine applicants to be added to our current wait list. They will add 20,000 families to the wait list. Applicants can check their wait list status starting September 10 at https://www.waitlistcheck.com/ or by calling 1-800-376-5058. Applicants are encouraged to call the Wait List Call Center at 1-855-702-9130 to have questions answered. The Wait List Call Center will be open every day from 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. until Friday, August 31st.
