If you submitted your online application to our recent Section 8 HCV & PBV waiting list lottery opening (between 8 AM on Thursday, August 24th, and 5 PM on Monday, August 28th), and you received a confirmation number, your application was successfully submitted and will be a part of the lottery. Please do not call or email us to ask for an update on your status - when this information is available, we will post instructions on our website here, on the front page, and on the applicant information page for how to check your lottery application status.
