Participants FAQs

If you have regestered for an account on the Rent Café website, please login to verify if you are on the waitlist.  

MHA cannot confirm your placement number on the wait list. Reaching the top of the wait list depends on a variety of things, including the date and time your application was received, the preferences that you indicated on your application, and funding.

The average wait for a voucher is approximately 5 years. There are many families and individuals who have applied for housing assistance and are on the waiting list for the Housing Choice Voucher Tenant-Based program. We cannot predict when your name will reach the top of the waiting list.

Reaching the top of the waiting list depends on the availability of vouchers, when you applied for the program, and any selection preferences you may have indicated on your application. When your name reaches the top of the waiting list, you will be contacted by mail for an eligibility interview.

Please be sure to keep your contact information current with this office. Your name may be removed from the wait list if this office does not have your current address.
