Why do I have to turn in my application before I come to my appointment?
Your application and required documentation is reviewed by a clerk first to help the appointment go faster and easier for both you and the housing specialist. The clerk will help you to correctly complete the application, answer general questions, and gather all necessary signatures. The clerk will also remind you to send in missing required documentation. This process is called packaging. Having the preliminary work done before your appointment allows the housing specialist time to analyze your information to properly determine your subsidy size and housing assistance payment. You then have the opportunity to discuss your situation with your housing specialists, review calculations and ask questions.
