The application process is listed below (Note: this is only intended as a summary of the process and may not be all-inclusive and is subject to change as we continue to improve our efficiency):
1) Application - An application is completed and submitted by the applicant in order to be placed on the waiting list. You should check with a Lyon County Housing Authority office staff member to confirm if we are currently accepting applications as the status of the waiting list changes frequently.
2) Waiting List - The family is placed on the waiting list in the order in which their application was received, preference or priority (if applicable in current policy). The application will remain in the "pending" or "received" status until approved or denied.
3) Interview and verification process - The interview may be conducted at the time the application is submitted or as applicants approach the top of the waiting list, they may be contacted by first class mail to schedule an interview to complete their applicant file. The letter will specify the information/documentation the applicant must bring with them to the interview; or if the Applicant was interviewed at the time of the application submittal, they will be informed of what documentation (if any) they need to provide to complete their application process. A deadline will be provided for the requested documents. Applicants who fail to attend their scheduled interview, neglect to respond to the letter (of scheduled appointment) or fail to provide the requested documents by the deadline will have their applications withdrawn, subject to
reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities. Upon completion of the interview, the verification process will begin. The FHA will verify all applicable information according to policy. Once all paperwork has been returned and verified, and if the applicant is found eligible, the status will change from pending to eligible. Applicants will then be offered vacancies as they become available.
