Frequently Asked Questions

• What happens if I do not receive the application appointment letter?

  It is important for you to inform the Housing Authority of all address changes while your name is on the waiting list. If you fail to respond because you did not receive the letter or if the letter is returned as "undeliverable", the Housing Authority will proceed down the list and remove your name from the waiting list. If you have any changes, submit an Applicant Change Form (see above) within 10 days.

• What happens when my name reaches the top of the waiting list?

  You will receive a letter informing you that your name has reached the top of the waiting list and that the Housing Authority is ready to begin the application process. You will be asked to complete a Personal Declaration Form and return it to our office along with various supporting documents.

• How can I check my status on the waiting list?

  You may contact the Housing Authority front desk at (530) 671-0220 or Toll Free at (888) 671-0220 to check the status of your application. You will be told whether or not your application is ACTIVE on the waiting list. Since the waiting list is NOT organized by date and time, there is no way for the Housing Authority to provide you a "waiting list" number.

• How long will it take for me to reach the top of the Affordable Housing waiting list?

  It is not possible to predict how long it will take for someone to get to the top of the waiting list. The wait depends on the rate current tenants move out of the Affordable Housing Unit. The waiting list is organized by date and time of application.

• How do I place my name on the Affordable Housing waiting list?

  The Affordable Housing waiting list is open. Turn in a complete application to the Housing Authority office to be placed on the waiting list for the next available unit.
