How it is decided who gets on the waiting list
The HRA is limiting the waiting list to 500 eligible applicants. Once the applications are received (remember, it must be postmarked no later than October 20, 2017), a lottery will determine the 500 eligible applicants (that meet the criteria above) that are placed on the waiting list.
The HRA will split the 500 randomly drawn eligible applications as follows:
- 150 – 1-bedroom eligible applicants
- 250 – 2-bedroom eligible applicants
- 100 - 3-bedroom eligible applicants
How you will know if you made it on to the list
By November 15, 2017, Plymouth HRA will only notify the 500 people that were placed on the waiting list. If you do not receive a letter by November 15, 2017, it means that your application was not selected in the lottery, and are not on the waiting list. No information will be available before November 15, 2017.
Once you get a voucher, where you have to live during the first year
Once you receive a Housing Choice Voucher, you will have to find a rental unit in the City of Plymouth and sign a one year lease. You must live in the City of Plymouth for at least one year.
Reminder!
Applications must be postmarked no later than October 20, 2017. No faxed, emailed or walk-in applications are accepted.
