This is the top of the page that shows on all of the pages on this website other than on PDF files. This header has five small pictures and a logo for the Housing Authority. First on the left top of the page is a small picture of a woman wearing a red blouse with her arm over a young woman who has long hair. Behind them is a one story house with red trim and brownish paint. Next to this picture is the logo: it says in blue lettering Housing Authority (carriage return) of Yamhill County | below that is a red pitch of a roof with only the pitch and chimney showing - it's a graphic. Below that is in bolder blue lettering with the letters in all caps HAYC. Next to the logo is a small picture of five children in a huddle. The photo is taken from beneath looking up at their faces. The next picture, the third one, is of a white set of housing complexes with a cement walkway leading to the one in the back. The fourth picture is of a class going on. You can see in the foreground someone with a pen in her hand writing on a paper with a book of some kind open in front then you see people sitting looking away toward someone in the background leading the class who is writing on some kind of white board. The last picture in this header is the side of a two story apartment complex that is white with light blue trim, you can see shrubs and a few trees also. Below this header on the left side of all the pages (except pdf pages) are menus that will take you to various pages - some of these menus drop down to the right with a mouse positioned over the menu item if there are subcategories. Each one is a link to either a page or a pdf file. Below the menus is a search box where you can search text on this site including inside pdf files.

Wait-List FAQ

 


Who is eligible for a voucher?

How much will my rent be once I have a voucher?

What places can I rent with a voucher?

How can I check the status of my application?


Who is eligible for a voucher?

Any family or single person who lives in Yamhill County (or wants to move here), earning less than 50% of the area median family income (MFI), may join our waiting list. Exactly how much you can earn depends on your family size. You can review our current income limits to determine whether you are eligible. We are required by HUD to give priority to a certain percentage of applicants who earn less than 30% of the MFI. Please note that final eligibility for admission to our program is also based on other factors such as U.S. citizenship, criminal history or sex-offender status (if any), any unpaid debts to a Housing Authority, and other factors reviewed during the intake process.

How much will my rent be once I have a voucher?

Your rent will be 30% of your adjusted monthly income. If the house or apartment you find is unusually expensive, you may have to pay slightly more. Depending on your circumstances your rent may be reduced to accommodate certain expenses, such as childcare or medical costs. We will explain your potential rent reductions at your orientation meeting if you qualify for a voucher.


What places can I rent with a voucher?

You can rent from any landlord in Yamhill County who is willing and eligible to participate in our program. There will be a limit on the cost of the place you find to rent - this limit will depend on where it is located in Yamhill County, your voucher size, and your family's income. We keep a notebook of available housing in our office. Feel free to stop in and have a look any time during our normal business hours.



How can I check the status of my application?

Our waiting list is very long and it's not always possible to determine when you might get a voucher. We can tell you that you are current on the list, but we can not say when your name might be selected from the list. We will inform you by mail when you are selected. It is very important to make sure we have a current mailing address for you.
