The Regional Housing Authority (RHA) is currently taking applications for the MainStream Voucher Program only. This type of voucher is for households that have at least one family member that is disabled and is between the ages of 18-61. We have four preferences for families that are applying for our waiting list. Our preferences are disability, homeless, resident of our four county jurisdiction, and veterans. Our four county jurisdiction include the counties of Alexander, Burke, Catawba and Caldwell. As people continue to apply, those with more preferences will move ahead of those that have less. This is the reason that the waiting list numbers could and will continue to change. The numbers will stop changing when we close the waiting list and are no longer taking new applications. At this point, that date has yet to be determined. Should you have further questions, please reach out to the RHA staff at 828-322-9191.
Maybe the waiting list numbers shouldn't be given out until the application period has ended, to avoid this. Just a thought
