While on the Waiting List

It's important to maintain up-to-date information on your application, so that we can reach out to you for additional details and confirm whether you'd still like to be on the waiting list. If you fail to respond to any requests made by a PHA or AffordableHousing.com(on behalf of PHAs), your name will be removed from the waiting list without any further notice.
