The Sacramento Housing Authority will open wait lists for Public Housing and Downtown Elderly Project Based vouchers in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV/formerly Section 8) programs for online applicants at 12:01 a.m., Monday, November 29, 2010.

Wait lists will open for public housing that is owned and managed by the Housing Authority.

Another wait list will open for project based vouchers in housing designated for Elderly families. The head of household spouse or the co-head of household must be at least 55 or older to apply and priority is given to families aged 62 and older.

The vouchers are not transferable to other housing on the private market.

Applicants may apply online directly to the communities where they want to live.

Online pre-application submission is recommended since applicants will be placed on the wait lists according to the date and time the application is submitted, and by the number of bedrooms needed.

A confirmation receipt is immediately issued after the pre-application is submitted online.

To apply online for all wait lists opening on Monday, use any computer with Internet access and go to www.sacwaitlist.com.

The wait lists will remain open until further notice.

Paper pre-applications are available for the newly opened waiting lists at most community centers in the greater Sacramento area.

A complete list of the community centers is available at www.shra.org. On the website, click the Apply for Housing tab in the left menu.

Hello, Quintia... If you received a confirmation number after you clicked on the "submit" button, your application was received. If you did not get a confirmation number, your application did not go through and you should reapply. The system will discard duplicate applications.

Hi... Access code are not needed if you applied on or after November 29, 2010. If you did not complete the application online after you received your access code when the wait list was previously opened, you can still apply for Alder Grove; however, your access code is no longer required.

I would like to receive an application for section 8 ( to be filled out online ) . I have done this once before and was interviewed at my place.
Later I was told that my application was not received on time. That was unfair to me because it was done online. I am a senior person and would like to have a voucher so I can move into a place ground floor level. Right now I have a two bedroom apartment ,but it has up and down stairs.I don't want to have to climb up and down stairs.

Also I would like to have some live with me, because I am 83 years old , That is one reason I want a two bedroom house and my balance isn't very good.

I will appreciate a reply as soon as possible.

Hello, Mar... As I mentioned in my post on February 25, 2011, the wait list is open for Conventional Public Housing until further notice. You may complete the brief pre-application online at www.sacwaitlist.com using any computer with public access. Ask someone you trust to help you complete the application online. A credit report is not needed to apply for housing although a credit check will be done as part of the eligibility process. You can check the status of your application by calling the Housing Authority at (916) 440-1390 after waiting 3 to 4 weeks for it to be entered into the system. Unfortunately, the voucher wait list remains closed with no plans to open it in the foreseeable future. As a reminder, never leave your personal information such as your social security number or birthdate in an email or on a voicemail message.

I applied in june 2012 and on there it said there was going to be 3000 people pick in july 2012, is it true that if you don't make the list you get a letter in the mail and if you do make it you get a phone call ? Is there a time that you guys will be placing those calls and mailing out them letters?
