Housing Choice Voucher application

HABD says applicants may register through its portal when a Housing Choice Voucher waiting list opens. A portal account is not proof that a waiting list is open or that an application has been accepted. Check the portal and HABD notices for the current status.

Public housing application

HABD publishes a public housing application and says it may be dropped off at the George W. McCoy Building or a community center during normal business hours. Confirm the current submission instructions before visiting.

Before and after you apply

Public housing and Housing Choice Voucher waiting lists are separate; an opening for one does not mean the other is open.
Use the HABD portal or HABD's own notices to confirm current waiting-list status. Do not pay anyone to join a waiting list.
Save your confirmation number, submission date, and a copy of every document you submit.
Use the HCV call center for questions about a voucher application, waiting-list status, inspections, or portability.

These figures are HUD reporting-data snapshots, not a count of openings. Equal inventory and occupied counts do not prove that no future opening is possible. Waiting-list status comes from HABD, not this dataset.

HUD public housing designation: Standard Performer. Standard Performer means the agency met HUD's overall and individual-indicator minimums but did not qualify as a High Performer. It is an operating assessment, not a customer-review rating.
