Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8)
Waiting List
THE SECTION 8 WAIT LIST IS CLOSED
The Berkeley Housing Authority is not accepting applications at this time.
We successfully completed a Wait List intake process for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Tenant Based, and Project Based Wait Lists that were opened on March 1-5th, 2010. During this 5-day period, over 37,000 applications were received. This speaks to the tremendous demand for rental assistance for low-income families in the Bay Area. 1,500 applicants were randomly selected on March 22, 2010 and placed on the Section 8 Tenant Based Voucher Wait List. An additional 1,500 names were randomly selected and placed on the Section 8 Project Based Voucher Wait List. Applicants not selected in the random lottery will not move forward in the process.
The website to check to see if your application was selected in the lottery for placement on the Section 8 and Section 8 Project Based Assistance Wait Lists is www.waitlistcheck.com. Please remember that your application for this waitlist did not guarantee a spot on the list. If you made an error on your application, and your application was selected in the lottery, you must submit a written correction to the BHA @ 1901 Fairview Street, Berkeley, CA 94704. If your application was not selected in the lottery you do not need to report the correction. Please click here for the form.
