Description:

Homes for Good, Lane County’s low-income housing agency, recently announced its Section 8 Wait List will open on 8 a.m. on Nov. 12th, 2019 and will remain open until 4 p.m. on Nov. 19th, 2019.<

Homes for Good, Lane County’s low-income housing agency, recently announced its Section 8 Wait List will open on 8 a.m. on Nov. 12th, 2019 and will remain open until 4 p.m. on Nov. 19th, 2019.

Applicants may be contacted at any time within the two-year window and if they do get a voucher they only have 120 days to find housing or they are removed from the wait list entirely.

Here’s how it works: The federal Housing and Urban Development Agency provides enough money for around 3,000 Section 8 vouchers for Homes for Good, the Housing Authority for Lane County. Every two years Homes for Good opens its wait list, but the housing agency has fewer vouchers than eligible applicants, so the organization relies on a lottery system to narrow down the application pool. In 2017, Homes for Good received more than 5,000 applications and, through the lottery, picked 3,000 to move forward. The housing authority worked through the 3,000 applicants for two years.

During the application process, Homes for Good collects information on family income, assets and size and verifies the information with other local agencies, employers and banks. It then determines if a family is eligible for the program and the amount of the housing assistance the family needs.

Eligibility for a housing voucher is based on total annual gross income and family size and is limited to U.S. citizens, excluding specific categories of non-citizens who have eligible immigration status.

In general, the family’s income may not exceed 50% of the median income for the county or metropolitan area in which the family chooses to live. Homes for Good is required to provide 75% of its vouchers to applicants whose incomes do not exceed 30% of the area median income. Median income levels are published by HUD and vary by location.

When the wait list opens, Section 8 applicants may apply online or at both of the Homes for Good offices with the assistance of Rent Assistance staff. Homes for Good has established a designated phone line that operates in English and Spanish for any questions regarding the application process.

The organization will work to accommodate other language needs as well. The helpline will be staffed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, at (541) 682-2550. The phone line will not be active until the wait list opens on Nov. 12th, 2019.
