Subsidized Housing Waiting List

The waiting list for subsidized housing (i.e. public housing and other site-based programs) is temporarily closed while KCHA reviews and refines its policies and procedures related to the waiting list and transitions to new housing-management software. The waiting list will reopen once the software conversion and restructuring are successfully completed.

For households already on the waiting list, KCHA selects most households for subsidized housing from 2 main types of lists: regional lists and site-based lists. Although KCHA cannot determine how long you will wait for housing, we can show you the number of applicants on each list. You can also see the application date of the household at the top of each list.

Waiting List Search

You should only use these numbers and dates as a rough guideline. The length of time it takes to reach the top of the list varies. It depends on:

  • The date and time you applied.
  • The number of current residents who move out.
  • The number of applicants who qualify for waiting list preferences.

KCHA has no way of knowing how many vacancies it will have in the coming months and years. This is why we cannot tell you exactly when you will reach the top of a waiting list.
