How Waitlist Applications Work
Waitlist applications will be selected at random and placed on the waiting list. Once a unit becomes available, the waiting list applicants will be contacted, screened, and determined eligible based on income level, household size, and the size of the rental unit.
About the Project-Based Voucher Program
The Project-Based Voucher program is a subsidized rental housing program where households pay a portion of the rent up to 35 percent of the adjusted gross household income, while the FCRHA pays the remaining portion of the rent to the owner. Program participants are ineligible to receive other Federal Housing Assistance subsidies.
Can I fill out an application now.
The detail provided on specific properties like Hollybrook III and Creekside Village, along with their available bed counts, is incredibly helpful for prospective applicants. It underscores how critical it is for families to accurately assess their space needs before applying. While the article clearly outlines the number of bedrooms, a common challenge many families face when moving into a new unit is visualizing how their existing furniture, especially beds, will fit comfortably. Having a clear understanding of different bed sizes and dimensions can really help in planning the layout of these new spaces.
