Admissions

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. Hearing Impaired: 711 or TTY-800-654-5984.
