Application status and information regarding placement on the waiting list will be available on-line after Oct. 26, 2021.

The HCV program is a rental housing assistance program funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The program assists very low-income persons, families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities to reside in safe, decent, rental housing they can afford.
