Waitlist Information
The website mentions "Don't wait! Hurry and apply now before the waiting lists fill up!" which implies a current opening, but also states "We no longer administer any federal programs anymore. We now operate similar to a private entity." This creates ambiguity. Applications can be downloaded or picked up in person.
The Marfa Housing Authority no longer administers federal programs and has partnered with Odessa Housing Authority for a project-based voucher program. Applications are sent to Odessa Housing Authority for approval/denial. Online applications are disabled.
