Where does a low-income single person without a documented disability who is under 62 find housing? It’s a theme that repeats itself over and over and over and over. Good news is: families and people who are disabled or in wheelchairs or elderly can pre-apply to be on a waiting list . . . Wait, that’s good news? Sigh . . .
The CDA will be accepting online pre-applications for all open wait lists starting May 19, 2015. The Section 8 waiting list will remain closed. All previous versions of the CDA’s pre-application form will become obsolete on that date.
On May 19, 2015 applicants will find a link to the Web App on the CDA Housing web site: http://www.cityofmadison.com/dpced/housing/applicants/1652/
On May 19, 2015 the CDA will begin accepting online pre-applications from applicants who qualify for the following:
Public Housing family-sized units (2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom units)
Public Housing 1-bedroom units (disabled or 62 years of age or older)
Public Housing 1- or 2-bedroom wheelchair-accessible units
Parkside 1-bedroom units (disabled or 62 years of age or older)
Parkside 1- or 2-bedroom wheelchair-accessible units
Karabis 1-, 2- or 3-bedroom wheelchair-accessible unitsThe waiting lists for the above categories will remain open until the CDA has sufficient applications to fill vacancies in the next 12-24 months.
If you or any member of your family need an interpreter, materials in alternate formats, or if you require a reasonable accommodation due to a disability to apply for, receive, or continue to receive this service, activity, or program,
