This lottery is for the above programs only. There are six separate lotteries which will be conducted simultaneously and will result in five separate lists. Applications will NOT be provided or accepted at any RCDSS office. Only one application per household will be accepted. If multiple applications are received for same household, both will be void.
We have partnered with AffordableHousing.com in managing these waiting lists.
Our support team members are trained to answer all waiting list inquiries and are available by phone (866) 466-7328, M-F 9 AM-6 PM EST. You can also email us at: support@AffordableHousing.com
You must apply online and set up a new account: (accounts may be set up prior to waitlist opening, however applications can not be submitted until the waitlist is open)
Once the waiting list closes eligible applicants will receive a notification by email of their lottery number and will be placed on the waiting list in a randomized order. Applicants will be notified 30 days after the closing of the list.
