County Section 8 List Opens August 4th!

>Wow. This happens so rarely I hardly know what to do! Reading this reminds me of how hard it is to get to the top of the list and be successful – especially if you are homeless, or a tenant who moves or have writing or reading challenges, or don’t have a computer or know how to use one. Etc. etc. etc.

NOTE FROM HOUSING AUTHORITY STAFF:

Attached please find the official announcement of the opening of our Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher waiting list. Please forward to anyone you think would benefit from the information. Also, you may print it out and make copies to give out to those who are interested.

Please read it over and let me know if you have questions regarding the application process. We expect that the waiting list will be open for a very short time. We do not want more applications than we can serve in one to two years.

The process for filling out the online application is a very simple one. Thank you in advance for helping those in need of navigating the online process. Unfortunately we will not have computers available at Dane County Housing Authority. We do have numbered paper applications for those who need a reasonable accommodation because of disability. But we strongly encourage the online process.

Do you feel like this was written for a small, belligerent child that they are expecting to fail? Sigh. Regardless of their marketing and obstacles to success, this is good news.
