Section 8 Waiting List & Lottery

KCHA's Section 8 waiting list is closed. We chose 2,500 applicants for the current list by a random lottery drawing in March 2020. We notified these applicants via printed letters and emails sent in the last week of March 2020. We do not know when the waiting list will re-open in the future.

Selection Status

As of December 31, 2023, KCHA has selected the first 1,500 applicants from the 2020 lottery waiting list. We anticipate pulling waitlist applicants as follows for 2024:

  • 1,501 to 1,525 – January 2024
  • 1,526 to 1,550 – February 2024
  • 1,551 to 1,575 – March 2024
  • 1,576 to 1,600 – April 2024
  • 1,601 to 1,625 – May 2024
  • 1,626 to 1,650 – June 2024
  • 1,651 to 1,675 – July 2024
  • 1,676 to 1,700 – August 2024

  • 1,751 to 1,775 – November 2024
  • 1,776 to 1,800 – December 2024

Lottery Number Search

You can look up your lottery number to find out if you're on the waiting list. There are two ways to do this. In the boxes below, you can enter the confirmation number you received after submitting your application, or enter your head of household's birth date and the last 4 digits of their social security number.

The date and numbers must exactly match what you put on your application. If you applied but cannot find your number using this tool, contact the Section 8 office.

Reporting Application Changes

If the contact information listed on your Section 8 voucher application changes, you must report the changes to KCHA as soon as possible. You do not need to report other application changes (such as income), as these will be reviewed when your number reaches the top of the waiting list.
