HCV, formerly known as Section 8, gives residents with a low income a chance to get into private market housing, instead of living in PHA-designated buildings.The Philadelphia Housing Authority will open its Housing Choice Voucher waiting list on Monday for the first time in 12 years.
After the two-week period ends, a lottery will randomly select 10,000 applicants to be added to the list. A preference will be given to applicants who currently live, work, or have been hired to work in Philadelphia. PHA will make 2,000 vouchers immediately available to qualified applicants within that group.
If in those 12 years you forgot exactly how this all works, check out the handy how-to I wrote for ApartmentGuide on how to navigate the Housing Choice Voucher Program. But sadly there's nothing I can do to help the stupid website when it's down.
Sites been down all morning! I have been on since 6:02
You should report that the link to apply is not functioning. So no applicants are winning this lottery! PhilaHsgAuthPHA get on the ball! Such a typical misstep with Philly agencies.
