What to check before you apply
Check the housing office’s own website for lists we haven’t added. This is not every waitlist in Texas. It holds the lists we found on housing offices’ own websites that were open when we last checked (Oct 6). Lists that are closed are not shown, and the housing office decides who qualifies and when a list opens. For one particular building, search the homes in Texas.
