Waiting List Information
Waiting List Information
It will be announced on the Middletown Website when the Section 8 Waiting List, for those that applied in May 2025, is processed and available to check placement. The MHA will use a third-party service to randomly select 350 applicants. If your application is selected and you provided an email address on your application, you will receive an email regarding your placement. Applicants will be ordered according to preference weight. Placement on this waiting list does not indicate that you are, in fact, eligible for assistance. A final determination of eligibility will be made when you are selected from the waiting list. DO NOT CALL.
