What to expect
Applications submitted by any methods other than the methods described above will not be accepted.
A lottery will be conducted for all applications received by the deadline. All applicants will be placed on the waiting list for consideration. Applicants will be contacted by the property agent in rank order until vacancies are filled. All of the information that you have provided will be verified and your eligibility confirmed. Your application will be removed from the waitlist if you have made any fraudulent statements. If we cannot verify a housing preference that you have claimed, you will not receive the preference but will not be otherwise penalized. Should your application be chosen, be prepared to fill out a more detailed application and provide required supporting documents.
