HACA said they'll use a lottery system to select applicants for the number of units expected to become vacant over the next year, and place those applicants on the waitlist.
This comes about a week after HACA opened up another waiting list for Pathways at Chalmers Court West, located on East 3rd Street.
That building will include 140 income-restricted rentals with one-to-four-bedroom options, with preference for neighbors who used to live there and want to come back.
You can apply for those units through this online portal.
