The Section 8
Waiting List that opened at 10 AM on May 20, 2009, has reached the
maximum 1,000 applications for this period, and is now closed.
We apologize to those who were not able to apply during this opening,
but we anticipate the list will re-open in 15-18 months.
As an
alternative to Section 8, you may apply for our Public and
Assisted Housing programs as well as any privately subsidized
complex that offers reduced rent. You may obtain Public and
Assisted Housing applications from either our Eugene or
Springfield Housing offices or here.
The application packet will also contain the list of privately
subsidized units in Lane County. This list is also available on
our web site under the title, Other
Resources.
Please look for
the reopening of the list next year.
How
Section 8 Works
The Section 8 program gives the family or individual a voucher. With the
voucher, the
family or individual looks for a unit that they would like
to rent. If the owner or landlord agrees to rent to the voucher
holder, Section 8 may be able to pay a portion of the
rent.
Section 8 families/individuals find their own rental units.
Section 8 assistance can also be transferred to other areas in the
USA.
Who Qualifies? For the Section 8 program, a
family/individual must be under these annual
income limits at the time
they first receive Section 8 housing assistance. After that, the
amount of income can be greater than these limits.
Nondiscrimination
Policy
HACSA assists families,
single people, and people with disabilities. The Housing Authority
does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, religion,
national origin, age, sexual orientation, color, familial status,
mental or physical disability.
Emergency Housing
HACSA does not provide emergency housing assistance.
If you need housing right away, try these community
resources.

We
recommend that you keep all receipts and correspondence from the
Housing Authority as a record of your contacts with us.
What If I'm Currently Homeless? If you
are homeless, we must have a mailing address for you. You

use the address of someone who will be able to get in touch with
you.
