Preferences

Preferences have not been confirmed.

Selection Process

5,000 selected applicants were placed on the waiting list by random lottery, by order of preferences.

In September 2024, the housing authority hosted an in person event, inviting 1,000 of those 5,000 applicants to come in and go through final screening and receive a voucher. This is a one of a kind event that Affordable Housing Online hasn't seen anywhere else. It was highlighted in a news report by KSBW Action News.

Application Method

To apply while the waitlist was open, applicants were required to complete the online application.
