A lottery will select about 1,200 households for our waitlist. This is about the number we can serve in two years. We will put them on the waitlist in random order. Starting November 4, 2019, we will contact applications and tell them if they were selected or not for the waitlist.

Applicants who do not get on the list may try again the next time we accept applications. We will likely accept applications again in about two years. Visit tacomahousing.net/notifyme and sign up to get an email when the waitlist reopens.
