  1. Apply to buildings directly. Project-based Section 8, public housing, §202/§811 and LIHTC properties run their own waitlists — contact each office using the details on its page.

  3. Document everything. ID, Social Security cards, birth certificates, and income proof speed up both paths.
  4. Stay reachable. Update your address everywhere — missed mail is the top reason applicants lose spots.
