The voucher list was closed to new applications when checked. Ask how the next opening will be announced. This does not stop an existing voucher holder from searching for an apartment.
The dedicated waiting-list page says the HCV list is closed. Lottery selection for the 2026 list and an eligibility appointment are later stages, not a new application window.
