Housing Choice Voucher application

HAKC's own site describes one common application that automatically places you on "19 waitlists" for its voucher and Project-Based Voucher properties, but does not state in so many words whether the list is currently "open" or "closed," or give a status date. Call 816-968-4100 to confirm current status before applying.

Central office: 3822 Summit St., Kansas City, MO 64111

Published hours: Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm

HAKC's office at 3822 Summit St. is open Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Paper applications can be dropped in the lobby drop box; call 816-968-4100 first with questions.

Before and after you apply

One common online application (at bob.ai) covers all of HAKC's voucher programs and automatically adds you to all matching property waitlists; a separate common application covers public housing.
You'll need a birth certificate, Social Security card, and valid ID for household members to apply.
HAKC runs its waitlists every Sunday night and emails you your current position — check your email and the portal regularly.
If HAKC invites you to apply for a property you don't want, click the link in the email and let them know, rather than ignoring it.
If you don't complete an online application within the response window after being invited, HAKC says it will follow up by postal letter — so respond promptly and don't miss the deadline.
You can check your status anytime at HAKC's application portal (bob.ai/applications).

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 HAKC, 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.
