    SAHA Applications to be on the Section 8 Waiting List are available from May 15 - June 1st.  Applicants do not need to rush to apply on May 15, since all applications received through midnight on June 1, 2012 will be entered into a computerized lottery system to establish each applicant's place on the waiting list.

    For the application to be submitted/completed: for all household members entered, you must have a name, a social security number, date of birth, and information on your children's schools (if your children are 6-18 years old).   You will also need income information for the household and a mailing address.  Every section of the application is required except an email address (optional).  Please have all that information ready before applying.

    Please review all information before submitting on the SAHA Application, as the application does NOT allow you to go back and correct your information.
