Thank you to everyone who entered the 2027 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Lottery. The lottery closed at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, September 18, 2026.
Disclaimer: entering the lottery does not mean you will receive a voucher. If vouchers become available, DHA will randomly choose names from the lottery. If your name is chosen, DHA will contact you about what to do next.
Please keep your contact information up to date so DHA can reach you if your name is chosen.
For other housing options, explore DHA properties with site-based waiting lists and apply online. If your name reaches the top of a waiting list, we will contact you with instructions for completing the next steps.
Important Information About Voucher Availability
DHA has a limited number of housing vouchers. Because of limited federal funding, DHA did not select names from the Housing Choice Voucher lottery in 2025 or 2026.
Based on current funding, DHA may not be able to select names from the 2027 lottery.
DHA will continue to watch for changes in funding and the number of vouchers available. If more vouchers become available, we will share updates on our website.
ATTENTION PLEASE! NEVER pay money to apply for housing!
