NEW YORK (PIX11) -- The last day to apply for New York City’s Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program is Sunday, but when will people start learning if they are added to the waitlist?
The waitlist is expected to be created by Aug. 1, according to NYCHA's website. Once the application window is closed on Sunday at 11:59 p.m., the process of creating the waitlist will start. Those who applied can use the self-service portal to check their application status, though a waitlist status will not be available before Aug. 1.
If you are denied a spot on the waitlist, you will be notified and given a chance to appeal the reason, according to NYC.gov.
