Housing choice voucher waiting list application workshop
The Santa Ana Housing Authority will be hosting workshops for residents interested in applying for the Housing Choice Voucher Program.
The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana will be accepting applications for the Housing Choice Voucher Program beginning Monday, May 2, 2022, at 7:30 a.m. until Tuesday, May 31, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. To access the application, please go to www.santa-ana.org/housing.
The Housing Choice Voucher Program is the federal government’s largest program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford healthy and safe housing in the private market. With a housing voucher, participants are able to choose their own housing, including single-family homes, townhomes and apartments. Housing assistance is then provided on behalf of the family or individual to the landlord.
You may apply if you are very low-income, 18 years of age or an emancipated youth by the court. Income limits for the Housing Choice Voucher Program are as follows:
| Household Members | Income Limit |
| 1 Person | $47,450 |
| 2 Person | $54,200 |
| 3 Person | $61,000 |
| 4 Person | $67,750 |
| 5 Person | $73,200 |
| 6 Person | $78,600 |
| 7 Person | $84,050 |
| 8 Person | $89,450 |
You can access the online application from any computer, smart phone or tablet with internet access. Paper applications will not be accepted. If you do not have internet access, you may visit any public library or senior center. A list of locations with public computer access is also available on our website at www.santa-ana.org/housing-authority. A computer kiosk is also available for you in our offices at 20 Civic Center Plaza, 1st Floor, Santa Ana, CA.
We will notify all applicants whether or not they are randomly selected to be on the 2022 HCV Waiting List. Notifications will be sent by mail and e-mail on or before Sunday, July 31, 2022.
The 2022 Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) Waiting List will be created through a random lottery process, regardless of the date and time you submit your application. Only 7,500 applications will be accepted onto the 2022 HCV Waiting List following this lottery process. Duplicate applications will be rejected. The Santa Ana Housing Authority has established a local preference for veterans and applicants who live or work in the City of Santa Ana.
