Lottery Process
After the lottery application period ends, applicants will be sorted using a random number generator and listed in the order drawn. Units are then matched by proceeding down the list to the first household on the list that is appropriate size for the unit available according to the appropriate-unit-size criteria established for the lottery. Applicants will be notified when their name is selected from the randomized list.
Application Process
Once an applicant is selected, they will have 15 days to respond and complete the full move in application. The household must successfully complete the application process to be awarded a unit.
The application process includes income and asset verification, credit check, and background check for all members of the household 18 years of age and older.
This process continues until all available units have been assigned to appropriately sized and eligible applicant households.
Waiting List
Households that were not awarded a unit will be placed on a waiting list in the order generated by the lottery. As units become available, Mutual Housing will proceed down the list matching the first household on the list that is appropriate size for the unit available. This process will continue until there are no more qualifying households.
