A Section 8 application is only for the Section 8 rental assistance program when applications are being accepted. A Section 8 lottery was implemented because of the overwhelming demand for Section 8 rental assistance. A lottery allows all applicants to have an equal opportunity to be selected and put on the Vermont Section 8 waiting list. There will always be more applicants than vouchers. This random selection method also ensures that there is no discrimination or bias of any kind. This process is always free.
For applicants on the Section 8 waiting list in Vermont, you must maintain a current mailing address at all times as you will be contacted through the U.S. Mail when your name comes to the top of the waiting list. If your mail comes back as undeliverable, or if there is no response because you moved and mail was not forwarded, your file will be canceled and you will need to reapply when the waiting list reopens. That means that you would have to complete a Section 8 lottery application all over again. Address changes should be made by calling the Vermont housing authority that you applied at or by email.
