Wait times vary. If the list is short, you may get help quickly. In larger areas with longer lists, it could take months or longer.

Check with your local housing authority for updates and make sure you remain on the list by following up regularly and keeping your information up to date.

What happens when you're close to getting a voucher?

The housing authority will check your eligibility, including your income and household size, to make sure you get the right kind of assistance.
