Los Angeles County Opens Site-Based Public Housing Waiting Lists for Senior and Family Housing

The Los Angeles County Development Authority opened its Public Housing Waiting List on April 15, 2024 and is keeping the list open until April 30, 2024. Priorities have been set for Seniors and Families but others we welcome to apply.

Who is Eligible?

The SBWLs are specifically designed for seniors and families meeting certain income and household criteria set by the LACDA. These lists enable applicants to register for housing units located in developments designated either for older adults or for broader family housing.

What are Site-Based Waiting Lists?

Site-Based Waiting Lists (SBWLs) are used by housing authorities to manage applications for specific housing projects or developments. Unlike general waiting lists that pool applicants for any property, SBWLs allow applicants to choose specific properties where they wish to live, making the waiting lists more targeted and relevant to individual needs and preferences. Site based waiting lists are typically referred to as Public Housing or Project-Based Voucher Waiting Lists.

How to Register?

Interested individuals can register for the waiting lists by visiting the LACDA’s official website. It is advisable to prepare all necessary documentation in advance, including proof of income, age (for senior housing), and family composition, to ensure a smooth registration process. Full details and the registration portal can be accessed at LACDA's Program Announcements Page.

Where are These Housing Units Located?

The specific locations of the housing units are scattered throughout Los Angeles County, focusing on areas designated for senior housing and family units. Exact addresses and details of the properties can be found on the LACDA website, or on this pdf provided by LACDA.

This strategic move by the Los Angeles County Development Authority underscores its ongoing commitment to providing accessible, affordable housing to its residents. With the SBWLs, LACDA ensures that those who need it most, including seniors and families, have a fair chance at securing a place they can call home within their community.
