The County of Maui will be accepting pre-applications online for its Housing Choice Voucher Program Waiting List beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 26, 2015 until 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 8, 2015.

Applications must be submitted online at www.waitlistcheck.com/HI004 or through the County of Maui website.

The Housing Choice Voucher Program provides tenant-based assistance, in the form of a voucher, to low-income families, elderly, and persons with disabilities for rental units chosen by the tenant in the private market.

Not all applicants will be placed on the waiting list. The time and date of receipt of the application online has no bearing on whether an application will be selected for the waiting list. Representatives say there is no need or advantage to applying immediately after the list opens; in fact, those who do may experience slower response times or limited availability from the online system.
