The
Waitlist Process
When your name reaches the top of the waiting list, you will be
screened for suitability and eligibility. Upon successful
completion of the screening process, your application will be
placed in a ready pool for housing. Based on unit availability in
your bedroom size, you will be contacted for a unit that meets your
need.
PHA does not provide applicants with their position or number on
the waitlist for PHA housing programs. Position on the list is
based on time and date of initial application, the type and size of
the unit required based on occupancy guidelines and any applicable
Special Programs and/or Allocations. During the application
process, you may check on the status of your application online or by calling (215) 684-4000.
