Welcome to the Wyoming Housing Commission Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) waiting list application.
This web-based process will assist you in applying for placement on the waiting list for the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program. You may apply at any time during the online registration’s open enrollment period (see “Registration Status” box to the right for this period). Upon the closing of the enrollment period, the WHC will conduct a random lottery of all applications and place selected applicants on the Wyoming Housing Commission Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) Lottery list.
Upon completion of registration, you should write down the confirmation number. In case any misfortune were to occur, the only verification we will accept of your application is your confirmation number. If you cannot produce your confirmation number under these circumstances, you will have to reapply at the next open of the waitlist application process.
Once the enrollment period ends applicants can return to this page after March 18, 2024, to check whether they were selected by clicking the “Search Existing Record” and entering the confirmation number. Editing the application can only be completed during the enrollment period. To make changes to your application after March 14, 2024, please contact the Wyoming Housing Commission at 616-534-5471.
