Many of the waiting lists listed on AHO have different requirements on how to apply. And sometimes, it can be hard to find all the important details about qualifying. AHO gathers all of this information to save renters time in their housing search.

Note: Applicants do not need to live in the area to apply to most waiting lists. Once a waiting list closes, it may stay closed for many years.
