How to Apply
Individuals who prefer physical/paper applications must visit the Housing Authority’s office during regular business hours. The paper application should be completed and returned to the drop box in the lobby where the application was picked up.
The Housing Authority of Kansas City, Missouri (HAKC) accepts applications from individuals who are at least 18 years of age or is an emancipated minor under State Law. Please note the HAKC is committed to making reasonable accommodations when such accommodations may be necessary to afford persons with disabilities an equal opportunity to make applications.
An initial application is taken; the applicant is then placed on the Housing Choice Voucher Program waitlist according to the application date, time, and local preference claimed. The time duration an applicant may wait for housing assistance depends on the availability of assistance. The average wait for voucher assistance is 3 years.
When funding allows for voucher issuance, an applicant is pulled from the waiting list according to their preference. A screening appointment letter will be mailed with an interview date and time for the applicant to provide the required documents needed to determine eligibility for the program. Once all information has been complied with, and the applicant is determined eligible, the applicant will be scheduled for a briefing to be issued a Housing Choice Voucher.
