We have 141 units that are owned and managed by the HA. The 2nd program is the Housing Choice Voucher program, commonly known as Section 8. This is where a client finds a home or apartment in the community & rent is subsidized by the the HA. This program is available both in Carbon & Emery counties.

The waiting list

Once completed & turned in, your application will be placed on a waiting list, based on any preference you are eligible for and based on date and time of application. Your position on the waiting list may change daily – moving back when someone with greater preference moves ahead of you and moving forward when applications are pulled off the list.

Applicants are pulled off the list when either there is a Public Housing unit available or a Section 8 voucher available. Once your name is near the top of the list, you will receive a letter to update your application. You will be required to verify your income, family composition, preference and certify to your eligibility as a citizen, and in the case of Public Housing, screened for suitability.
