Honolulu Opens Waitlist for Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program

May Kirk Caldwell proudly announced that the city of Honolulu will be opening up the waitlist for its Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, after a nine year break.  The last time the waitlist was open was in May 2005, when more than 10,000 families applied.  Now, there are only 564 applicants remaining on that list, and the it is expected that most of these applicants will receive their vouchers in the next few weeks.  The program is part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Section 8 program, which allows voucher holders some flexibility in where they want to live.  The average voucher is about $1,000 per month.
