let me begin by telling you that i am writing this from my beat up 44 year old trailer that leaks and is infest with cockroaches. it is impossible to get public housing and the wait list for section 8 has been closed forvever, until now. i don't know what made me check their site a couple of weeks ago but as it turned out there were opening the list to online applications only from midnight to noon on tha sunday. i just got the letter in the mail that im on the wait list. now, does anyone know how long it takes? im guessing years.
