December is shaping up to be a great month for both section 8 waiting lists and public housing availability. Often times, the holiday season can be a bit slow for open waiting lists, but ive been scouring my sources, reaching out to local Housing Authorities accross the country and have been compiling that list here. If you dont see an open waiting list in your area, keep in mind that many waiting lists are transferrable and dont require you to live in that area to apply. Additionally, we will continue to update this list so be sure to check back at least twice a week to find the newest additions to our list.
