HCV Program Manager Jodell Speer announced that positions
have now been assigned to the 2013 Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) Program
Waitlist and that notification letters will be mailed this week letting all
registrants know if they are on the 2013 waitlist. Seattle Housing Authority received
close to 24,000 registrations and 2,000 of those were randomly selected to be
placed on the waiting list.
Unfortunately, due to federal budget cuts that went into
effect on March 1st, Seattle Housing Authority are unable to begin issuing
vouchers to the new waitlist for the foreseeable future. They stated that they will
be posting updated information about the status of the waitlist on their website
at http://www.seattlehousing.org. There will still be a position on the
waitlist for all 2,000 randomly selected households when they begin to issue
vouchers again.
If your household
registered for the lottery, you will receive a letter from us in the mail by
the end of March letting you know whether or not your household was selected at
random to be placed on our 2,000-household waitlist for Section 8 assistance.
If you have questions about the process or your submitted
registration information, please call the waitlist hotline at 206-239-1674.
Staff will be answering the hotline Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
