HUD Housing Programs: Tenants’ Rights (The Green Book): 2.8.6.4 Types and Number of Waiting Lists
Each PHA may have a number of waiting lists. The lists may be organized by development, by community, by unit size, etc. Also, each PHA may have separate lists for public housing and the Voucher program. Within any jurisdiction, there is no central place to apply for all the affordable low-income housing in the area. Applicants therefore must apply to each PHA serving the rental market and each HUD-assisted and subsidized owner.
