How Long Can I Expect to Wait for Assistance?
Applicants on the Waiting List are served on a first-called/first
served basis. Selection criteria includes jurisdiction and
funding availability. Due to the length of the Waiting List,
which changes daily, the Housing Authority is unable to provide
a specific date when registrants on the waiting list will
be served.
To check if you are still on the Waiting List, please call
(800) 731-4663 or (562) 347-4663. Applicants should call at
least once a year to check their status. Please have your
Social Security number available for faster service.
What Should I Do if my Address or Family Composition
Changes?
If you move or your family composition changes while you
are on the Section 8 Waiting List, you must notify the Housing
Authority IN WRITING immediately. Failure
to report changes in writing may result in removal of your
name from the Waiting List. The Housing Authority must be
able to reach you by mail at the address you have provided.
Mail changes in address and/or family composition to:
Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles
Applications and Eligibility Unit
P.O. Box 2129
Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670
Please include the name and Social Security number for the
Head of Household, and the previous and new address. Always
keep a copy of your correspondence for your records.
What Happens When My Name Reaches the Top of the
Waiting List?
When funding is available, applicants at the top of the waiting
list will be mailed a pre-application to fill out and return.
The Housing Authority uses the pre-application information
to determine if the applicant meets basic eligibility criteria.
Applicants that meet basic eligibility criteria are sent complete
program application materials.
