RESIDENT SELECTION PROCESS
1. When your pre-application is considered for a unit, we will contact you to come into
the Management Office for an interview and to complete a more detailed full application
at that time. Interviews and verifications may be processed in advance of unit availability.
Your application may be processed in anticipation of an upcoming vacancy and will be
held for the next available vacant unit.
2. Third party verification will be obtained from all related sources to confirm certain
components of the eligibility/qualification requirements; for example, income, assets,
landlord references, and preference eligibility.
3. It is your responsibility to inform the management in writing of any change to the
information on your pre-application or application (e.g., address, household size, and total
household income). You must respond to the waitlist update letter when mailed to your
address on file, which typically occurs every six months. Failure to contact the
Management Office about a change in information or failure to respond to the waitlist
update letter can result in removal of your application from the waiting list.
LOTTERY PROCESS
A lottery that determines the waiting list position of applicants will be run periodically during
the application period and applicants will be placed on the waitlist in order of the lottery
number within consecutive runs. The first lottery will occur at the end of the day June 12,
2024, July 3, 2024, July 24, 2024, and at the close of the waitlist on August 26, 2024. All
applications are entered either by the applicant directly or by proxy. Proxy applications will
be entered when received to be included in the consecutive lottery runs. The automated
and randomized lottery process assigns a lottery number to each applicant on the waitlist.
The applicants will be ranked in order of lottery number within each lottery batch and each
previously run batch will be exhausted before the next batch is used.
The lottery will be conducted electronically and is closed to the public.
