The Provo City Housing Authority Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program is currently open and accepting applications.
The housing authority has a waiting list preference for person who live or work in Provo, Utah. On the Provo City Housing Authority website they say "the number of qualified Provo resident applicants is so high that non-Provo residents will never reach the top of the waiting list."
This preference does not prohibit non-locals from applying as Federal law allows anyone from anywhere to apply to any Section 8 waiting list in the country. However, if the number of local preference applicants on the waiting list are many, then non-local applicants will effectively never move far enough up the waiting list to receive assistance.
Though the housing authority does not publish on their website how long the waiting list is, reports from users who have spoken to housing authority staff are that the waiting list is 6 to 9 months long.
The Section 8 application is here: http://provohousing.org/pdf/CombinedApplication2011.pdf. The housing authority uses the same application for their public housing properties but maintains a separate HCV waiting lists.
The application will need to be printed out, completed, and mailed back or dropped off at the housing authority office at 650 West 100 North
Provo, Utah 84601.
The housing authority has an informative web page about their waiting list here: http://provohousing.org/waiting-list/.
