Nearly 43,000 people have filed applications to join a waiting list for subsidized housing in Sacramento, officials said Wednesday.
By Tuesday night’s deadline, 42,913 people had entered the lottery for 7,000 slots on the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency’s waiting list for the Housing Choice Voucher Program, formerly known as Section 8. The SHRA started accepting applications Jan. 16.
Only 7,000 people will land a spot on the list, and they likely will have to wait one to two years before finding suitable housing, officials said.
