Waitlist Process
REACH does not maintain a central waitlist. Search for properties with “Waitlist Open” and use the link to add your name to the waitlist. You can also contact the property directly about the waitlist or have a packet mailed to you. Complete the waitlist application packet and mail, e-mail, fax, or drop it off at the building leasing office.
- How do I know if my waitlist application went through and I’m on the waitlist?
You will not be waitlisted if the required * and bolded fields on the waitlist application were not completed.
Due to the volume of inquiries we receive, we cannot send you a confirmation that you have been placed on the waitlist. However, you may call the Community Manager directly approximately one week after the waitlist application was submitted to verify it was received.
- Does REACH have any units currently available?
Properties with subsidized units currently have a waitlist that may be open or closed. REACH does not maintain a central waitlist. Each property has its own waitlist and application. You may be on multiple waitlists; however, the applicant is responsible for adhering to each property’s qualifications for remaining Active on the waitlist. Click on the Availability tab and select “Open Waitlists.” All properties with open waitlists will be filtered. Use the link to apply online or request a waitlist application.
- How long will I have to wait for a unit to become available?
Completed waitlist applications are posted to the waitlist in the order received. When waitlist applications are received at the property, they are time and date stamped upon arrival. As each property maintains its own waitlist, the wait times vary depending on the type of property and population.
Wait times cannot be determined/approximated due to the unpredictability of unit/home turnover/availability; we cannot provide callers with their “spot on the list” or their “number on the list.”
- When will I know if a unit is available?
When a property receives a notice to vacate from a resident, the Community Manager will notify waitlist applicants by phone and email based on their position on the waitlist. Applicants are given approximately three (3) days from the date of contact to respond with their interest in the housing opportunity. The Community Manager will set an appointment to view the unit, and applicants will begin the formal Rental Application process.
Waitlist applicants may decline one (1) offer of housing and remain at their place on the waitlist; after declining a second offer, the applicant will have the opportunity to move to the bottom of the waitlist. If no response is received from the applicant after the second housing offer, the waitlist application will be inactive. The Community Manager will not notify you of an Inactive status.
