Programs » Housing » Waiting Lists Pre-applications will be accepted online onlyContinuing until further notice, the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee (HACM) is accepting online pre-applications from individuals interested in applying for the following four different types of subsidized housing. Participants in HACM’s subsidized housing programs typically pay 30 percent of their income for rent, and through funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, HACM pays the difference. Interested individuals may register and pre-apply for any waiting lists they are interested in. After an individual pre-applies, they will be contacted via email once their name is selected and invited to complete an application to determine eligibility. Due to a variety of factors, we are unable to provide those on waiting lists with their position on a particular waiting list. In order to register and pre-apply, an individual MUST have the following six pieces of information:
ALL PRE-APPLICATIONS MUST BE COMPLETED ONLINE USING A COMPUTER, TABLET OR SMARTPHONE WITH AN INTERNET CONNECTION. If you do not have access to an internet-enabled device, public libraries have computers that are free for the public to use. Pre-applications may be discontinued at any time if the program reaches capacity. We strongly urge everyone who is currently on a waiting list to login into myportal.hacm.org to ensure their information is current and that you are on the waiting lists that you are interested in. WAITING LISTSHousing Choice Vouchers (Section 8 Rent Assistance): HACM will open its wait list for the Housing Choice Voucher Program. Housing Choice Vouchers are a form of Section 8 Rent Assistance funded by the federal government and administered locally by the Housing Authority. The program provides very low-income families with vouchers to help in paying their rent for housing in private market units that have been inspected and met the program’s housing quality standards. HACM will accept online pre-applications to be included in one or more lotteries to be selected for this wait list. If you previously completed a pre-application for the Housing Choice Voucher wait list before December 15, 2021 and were not selected in the lottery, you will need to reapply for an opportunity to be chosen in future lotteries. Project-Based Vouchers: HACM is continuing its open wait lists for Project-Based Vouchers. Project-Based Vouchers are a type of assistance that subsidizes the cost of housing at specific housing developments. HACM is currently accepting pre-applications for the following 12 developments. Any individual 18 years or older who meets the income qualifications can apply, but preferences will be given to those that meet the criteria listed below for each development. You can sign up for any or all of the specific buildings, depending on your interest.
Public Housing Designated for Seniors and Disabled: HACM will open the waiting list for public housing designated for seniors and individuals with disabilities. These are apartments in high-rise buildings in different neighborhoods of Milwaukee. When approved for housing, you will be offered a selection of buildings with available units.
QUALIFICATIONS Housing Choice Voucher and Project-Based Vouchers: To qualify for these types of subsidized housing, the Head of Household must be 18 years or older and the TOTAL household income must not exceed the limits indicated below: 2022 Income Limits

HOMELESS PREFERENCE If you meet a very strict definition of “homeless” that both HUD and HACM use, you may be eligible for a preference on certain housing waitlists (Housing Choice Voucher or Public Housing) based on your homeless status. This preference does not apply to project-based voucher waiting lists. HUD and HACM define “homeless” for this preference very strictly by only counting two types of homelessness for this preference (known as Category 1 and Category 4). Get more information and see if you qualify at Homeless Preference. Pre-applications will be accepted online onlyIf you have additional questions or need a reasonable accommodation, you may call the waiting list hotline at (414) 286-5681.
