There are seven (7) big waiting lists for low-income housing that open across the country next week!
Waiting lists are opening on three different days this week, and in six different states. Many of these areas have large program sizes, so this is a great time to find new housing opportunities!
We bring you this summary every week to help make it easier to apply when the waiting list opens. Preparing early for an upcoming opening may help you get housing over others. And as a reminder, you do not need to live in the area to apply to most waiting lists.
