Housing is in such a crisis that the opening up of a wait list for Section 8 housing makes the news.

You do not need to be a resident of Taylor to apply to be on the waitlist for housing there.

The Taylor Housing Commission is opening up the waitlist for its housing choice voucher program for 12 days this month.

Starting Dec. 20, the commission will accept pre-applications for a potential spot on its waiting list for the popular program meant to help make housing affordable for low-income families, elderly people, veterans and people with disabilities.

The commission expects thousands of interested applicants, but will randomly select up to 400 names to create its new waitlist, according to Taylor Housing Commission Executive Director John Carter. Getting on that list isn't a guarantee of getting subsidized housing, either; it's more of a chance to participate in the program and that all depends on several factors, such as eligibility and finding a suitable unit. The federal housing choice voucher program, formerly known as Section 8, can ease rent costs to just 30% of a person's income, however vouchers are limited and waitlists are typically lengthy as well.

Who qualifies?
Applicants do not need to be residents of Taylor to apply.

Income eligibility is set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Where can households apply?
To apply, go to www.taylorhousing.org when the application window opens.
