Cortland County, New York Housing Choice Voucher Waiting List

The Cortland Housing Authority (CHA) Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher waiting list is currently open until further notice.

There are two ways to apply:

1. Call the CHA at (607) 753-1771 during normal office hours to request an application be mailed or emailed to you.
2. Email the CHA at [email protected] to request an application mailed or emailed to you.

Once the application has been completed, it can be hand delivered to the CHA office, located at 42 Church Street, Cortland, NY 13045, or emailed to [email protected].

This waiting list has the following preferences: Elderly, handicapped/disabled, families, Cortland County residents.

Qualified applicants will be place on the waiting list by the date and time the application isreceived, by order of preferences.

Please note: Those who do not qualify for the residency preference will be placed at the bottom of the waiting list, and will always be below applicants who do qualify for the residency preference. Because of this, according to a CHA representative, it is unlikely names on the waiting list without the residency preference will ever reach the top of the waiting list.

After applying, applicants will receive a letter notifying them if they were eligible, or not.

For more information, call the CHA office at (607) 753-1771.

Applicants who need help completing the application due to disability can make a reasonable accommodation request to the housing authority via 6077531771.
