Waiting List:
Use this drop-down box to specify which Field Agency will serve the county you wish to live in.

Click here to see the Section 8 Field Agency Map.

Part 1: Head of Household
In this section, fill in First Name, Last Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Gender, Telephone Numbers, Ethnicity, and Race for the Head of Household. Also, specify whether the household qualifies for a reasonable accommodation due to a disability.

What is a reasonable accommodation under HUD Section 504? A "reasonable accommodation" is a change, adaption or modification to a policy, program, service, or workplace which will allow a qualified person with a disability to participate fully in a program, take advantage of a service, or perform a job. Reasonable accommodations may include, for example , those which are necessary in order for the person with a disability to use and enjoy a dwelling, including public and common use spaces. Since persons with disabilities may have special needs due to their disabilities, in some cases, simply treating them exactly the same as others may not ensure that they have an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.

Part 2: Household Information
Do not re-enter Head of Household information into this section.
In this section, fill in the address where you currently live and, if different, the address where you receive mail. Also, provide information for each household member: First Name, Last Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Gender, Disabled; yes or no, and Relationship to Head of Household.

Part 3: Family Income and Assets
If your income is zero, you may have to enter $1. This form currently does not accept $0 as a valid value.
In this section, list each family member's Gross Income, the period of time to earn this income, Name and Address of Employer, Cash Value of Assets and Income Received from Assets.
