While anyone is eligible to apply, those who live or work within Grays Harbor will be given priority preference.

After an application is submitted, it will be reviewed and input into the system, only at that time will the wait begin.

If applicants are moved up on the list, they will be mailed a notification letter. Anyone who changes their mailing address or phone number during the process will need to notify the housing authority.
