(Kauai) – County officials are reminding the public that the deadline to submit applications for the waiting list lottery for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program is Wednesday, Oct. 29, 11:59 p.m.

Applications are being accepted online at www.kauai.gov/housing or www.waitlistcheck.com/HI005.
Those without computers and/or access to the Internet can obtain a paper application by calling the County Housing Agency at 241-4440.
Paper applications must be mailed to: County Housing Agency, 4444 Rice Street, Suite 330, Līhu‘e, HI, 96766 and postmarked during the period that the waiting list open.
Applications will not be accepted in person at the Housing Agency.

Due to the limited funding, applications will be selected and added to the waiting list using a random lottery system. The time and date an application is received will have no bearing on the selection process.
