Welcome to the Wyoming Housing Commission Public Housing Low Rent waiting list application.
This web-based process will assist you in applying for a place on the waiting list for the Public Housing (Low Rent) program. “PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS FOR THE PUBLIC HOUSING PROGRAM, NOT SECTION 8”. You may apply at any time during the online registration’s open enrollment period (see “Registration Status” box to the right for this period). Upon the closing of the enrollment period, the WHC will conduct a random lottery of all eligible applications and place selected applicants on the Wyoming Housing Commission Public Housing Low Rent waiting list.
Upon completion of registration, you should write down the tracking number. In case any misfortune were to occur, the only verification we will accept of your application is your tracking number. If you cannot produce your tracking number under these circumstances, you will have to reapply at the next opening of the waitlist application process.
Applicants can return to this page to check whether they were selected by clicking the “Search Existing Record” button to the right and entering the tracking number. "PLEASE NOTE: BEING SELECTED DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE ON THE WAITING LIST INDEFINITELY. YOU MUST COMPLY WITH THE ELIGIBILITY PROCESS BY RETURNING DOCUMENTS WE MAY SEND YOU AND YOU MUST RESPOND TO ATTEMPTS TO REACH YOU. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN BEING REMOVED FROM THE WAITING LIST. REGISTRATION STATUS ON THIS SITE DOES NOT UPDATE IF YOU HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE ACTIVE LIST."
To successfully apply, you will need to provide the Wyoming Housing Commission with the following information:
• First and last names of all members of your household
• Social security numbers and birthdates of all members of your household
• The total gross annual income of everyone in your household. This includes Supplemental Security Income (SSI), wages, Social Security, General Assistance, child support, and any other income received
• A valid address to which the WHC staff can send correspondence
• A valid phone number at which the WHC can contact you
In order to meet the Wyoming Housing Commission’s eligibility criteria, please note the following:
• Provide accurate information. Submission of false information or misrepresentation will result in disqualification from the lottery and may result in loss of eligibility to participate in the Public Housing Low Rent Program.
• Only one application per household. Selected lottery applications will be reviewed. Multiple submissions will be removed from the waiting list.

If you are randomly selected through the lottery process you will be notified by mail. That mailing will include a selection letter, Waiver of Liability form(s) and a HUD form 92006. These must be completed and returned as stated in the selection letter. If your selection letter is returned with no forwarding address you will be cancelled from the waitlist, therefore, please ensure you are indicating a valid address when completing your application.

2. Disabled, elderly
3. Date and time of application
Persons who do not meet the above preferences will not be offered a unit, until all persons with preferences have been served.

This is not an official HUD form and is used only as a format to fulfill the need for placement on the Public Housing-Low Rent Program waiting list.
