Waitlist Open

To apply for housing:

Please note:

Homes First currently has an extensive waiting list. Intakes are coordinated through a Placement Strategy, and each property has specific criteria for tenancy.

Due to the high volume of applications and limited availability of housing, we are unable to provide individual updates on waitlist status. We kindly ask that you do not call or email to inquire about your position on the waitlist.

All applicants will be contacted directly if and when a suitable space becomes available.

Thank you for your understanding.
