When there is a wait list opening you may apply for housing. We will call you if you make the list.
Periodically, OHA will open its Wait List and accept pre-applications. Then through a lotterized process, a certain number of pre-applications are selcted and placed on a Wait List. When housing becomes available, we pull applicants from this list and invite them in to complete the formal application process. At that time, documentation will be requested and verified, beginning the move-in process. OHA does not rent units to people who are not on our Wait List.
