Who Has Priority

• Has your apartment been condemned?
• Are you living in a shelter or on the streets?
• Do you have a severe medical emergency?
• Do you pay more than half your income for rent?
• Are you facing domestic violence?
• Are you a local resident?
• Are you being evicted through no fault of your own?

If you answer "yes" to these and other questions you may be eligible for a preference or priority for housing that can help move you up a waiting list more quickly.

This booklet will help you figure out whether you fit into any preference or priority categories.
