ON-LINE REGISTRATION FOR HOUSING ASSISTANCE.

READ ALL INFORMATION BELOW BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE REGISTRATION PROCESS

THIS IS A REGISTRATION LIST ONLY. SUBMITTING AN ON-LINE APPLICATION DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE HOUSING ASSISTANCE. IF YOU ARE SELECTED, YOU MUST MEET ALL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS.

The Greenville Housing Authority offers two types of Housing Assistance.

Tenant Based Vouchers - These vouchers may be used in private rental units of your choice provided program requirements are met and the owner accepts the voucher. There is only one waiting list for tenant-based vouchers. There are no restrictions to apply for tenant-based vouchers

Project Based Vouchers - These vouchers are tied to specific properties and you must live in that property in order to receive housing assistance. Each property will have a separate waiting list. Many of these properties are age restricted and require that all household members must be age 62 or older. You can only apply to properties in which your family will meet the property restrictions.

REGISTRATION PROCESS

1. Complete the registration process ONLY ONE TIME.
2. Once you begin the application you cannot save and return at a later time.
3. You must complete the entire application or it will not be valid and you will not be placed on the registration list.
4. Keep your confirmation number that is provided after completing the process.
5. If you are unable to select a waiting list for a program or property, it is because that waiting list is temporarily closed.
6. Before you begin, you will need name, social security number, date of birth and income information for all family members. A valid email address is also required.
7. Enter all information carefully and check to make sure it is correct before you complete the application.
8. If you select a property but later refuse to accept an offer of a housing unit at that property, you will be removed from the waiting list, so please check ONLY the properties where you are willing to live.
9. If you need assistance to complete the application, please call 833-736-3765.

MAINTAINING YOUR STATUS ON THE WAITING LIST

It is your responsibility to assure that all information remains current. When your on-line registration transfers to the waiting list and comes to the top of the list, you will be notified by electronic (e-mail) or regular mail. If we are unable to contact you because the e-mail address is no longer valid or a letter is returned as undeliverable, your name will be removed from the waiting list.

You are required to update any changes in your name, address, phone number, e-mail address and family size. Changes must be completed in writing by using the “Application change" form on the Housing Authority’s website at www.tgha.net, click on “Housing” and “Appllication Update”.
