Around January 15, letters about “Save My Spot” were mailed out to applicants on the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) waitlist. Many of these letters were not mailable due to the applicant not having a mailing address on file. While accompanying emails were also sent out, we want to make sure that all applicants have the opportunity to stay on our waitlist.
If you are working with someone that may be on the waitlist, please reach out to them and check if they’ve recently received an email about saving their spot on the waitlist.
Please share this information with your network if you think it would be beneficial and follow the instructions above to help them save their spot. Please note the final deadline has been extended to April 12, 2024.
The BHA waitlists remain closed to new applicants. This notice is only for those currently on our Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) waitlist.
