The pre-application process was last opened on July 24, 2024. Between 1,500-2,000 of the pre-applications submitted during this period will be selected, at random by a computer, to be placed on the Wait List. If you applied during the 2024 open enrollment period, you may check your status ON OR AFTER AUGUST 7, 2024, by going to www.waitlistcheck.com. If your pre-application is marked Active, you were selected in the lottery. A letter will be mailed in September to the pre-applicants who are chosen in the lottery for placement on the Wait List. If your pre-application is marked Inactive, you were not selected in the lottery, you will not be on our Wait List, and you may reapply at a future opening. Please do not call the Kenosha Housing Authority office to verify an application or to check status.
Note that being selected for placement on the Wait List does not guarantee you will be eligible for an offer of a Housing Choice Voucher.
Wait Times: The Kenosha Housing Authority (KHA) does not provide emergency or immediate housing. The amount of time you will wait before your pre-application is screened may vary. Vacancies and HUD funding may also affect the wait time. You will be notified by mail when the KHA is ready to screen your application. Waiting list applicants are required to report, in writing, changes of mailing address and family composition. The KHA gives priority to applicants who live, work, or attend school in Kenosha County, and the KHA gives priority to applicants who are either disabled, elderly, or who have minor children in the household.
NOTE: Our office will always contact you by mail at the mailing address you provide. If we are unable to reach you by mail and/or you do not respond to mailed correspondence within allotted timeframe, your name will be removed from the waiting list without further notice.
