Announcements
The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD) will close the waitlists to new applicants for the following programs effective February 20, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.:
- Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program
- Public Housing Program
- Housing Opportunity for Persons with AIDS Tenant Base Rental Assistance Program (HOPWA TBRA)
This closure also applies to the existing site-specific Project-Based Voucher (PBV) developments and the Mod-Rehab Program waitlists.
Why Are the Waitlist Closing?
Due to current and projected federal funding levels, HACSD does not anticipate selecting new applicants from the HCV and HOPWA TBRA waitlist for several years. Additionally, the number of applicants on each of the site-specific Project-Based Voucher (PBV), Mod Rehab and Public Housing waitlists is sufficient to fill anticipated vacancies over the next several years.
What Does This Mean for Current Applicants?
The waitlist closure does not affect people who are currently on the waitlist or who apply before the closure date. Applicants will remain active on their chosen waitlists with their existing application date and time.
