Section 8
Moderate Rehabilitation Waiting List
Information
The City of
Miami, Department of Community Development last opened the Section 8 Moderate
Rehabilitation waitlist on December 2003. There were approximately twenty
thousand (20,000) pre-applications received. All pre-applications were screened
for eligibility and completeness and a random lottery number was assigned to all
eligible applications.
Applicants will
receive a housing offer by mail as vacancies become available. Preference is
given to elderly and/ or disabled families. Therefore, families that fall in
this status will have the opportunity of being assisted ahead of other families.
Waiting List
Process:
The availability
of funds and the opening of the application period is advertised periodically in
a general circulation newspaper with citywide coverage at least 15 days prior to
the acceptance of applications. Once the application period expires, all
applications are entered in an electronic spreadsheet. This information is then
used to generate a random lottery which determines the order of the waiting
list. Once the waiting list is established, all applicants are informed, in
writing, of their waiting list number. Receiving a waiting list number does not
directly qualify the applicant for the program. An interview is scheduled with a
Housing Specialist to determine final eligibility. If the applicant fails to
follow all the instructions on the initial appointment letter sent by the
Housing Specialist, the applicant will be removed from the waiting list.
NOTE: Applicants who received a waiting list number are responsible for ensuring
that the City of Miami has their most updated contact information including
current address and telephone number. If you have a waitlist number and have
recently moved, please mail us your new information, including first name & last
name, Social Security Number, waitlist number (if known), new address, and
telephone number to the following address using certified U.S. postal service:
City of Miami
Department of Community Development
Attention: Section 8 Supervisor
444 SW 2 Avenue, 2 Floor
Miami, FL 33130
If you fail to notify the City of Miami of any changes chances are that the City
will not be able to contact you and your application will be disqualified.
The City of Miami has no responsibility for delays in the USPS service or for
mail forwarding. |
