We accept applications on Tuesday and Wednesday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

At the time of application, applicants need to bring the following information:

HACG's eligibility staff will review your application to make sure that you have completed all areas and signed in all appropriate places. Then, you will be notified and your name will be placed on a waiting list.

Once your application for housing has been accepted, your name will be added to the waiting list for housing. When your name comes to the top of the waiting list and a vacancy occurs, you will be notified and instructed on how to proceed next. You should expect to wait an average of 6 months to 2 years.

As vacancies in HACG Public Housing communities occur, an approved individual or family is selected once their name comes to the top of the waiting list.
