The County’s Section 8 waiting list remains closed.

Families and seniors may choose, based on eligibility, to register for one, or all, 13 waiting lists. Applicants will be selected from each waiting list in order of admission preferences, followed by date and time of registration.

If an applicant is offered a unit from any of the waiting lists that they have registered for, and the unit is not accepted, the applicant’s name will be removed from all selected site-based waiting lists, and they must re-register. Therefore, it is important that applicants only register for locations in which they are willing to reside. Further, please note that HACoLA prohibits smoking on the grounds, and within housing units, at all public housing developments, except for at the South Bay Gardens senior housing development, which has a designated smoking area within the complex.

HACoLA maintains and manages 3,229 public and affordable units located on 68 sites located throughout Los Angeles County. For more information on HACoLA’s programs, please call 626-262-4510. All media may contact Elisa Vásquez, Public Information Officer, at 626-586-1762.
