Section 8 Deadline Update

11/29/07
Updated message from a representative of the San Diego Housing Commission:

If you are a person who is elderly and/or a person with a disability, you can still respond to the Waiting List inquiry to update or confirm your information. If a person does not have a computer, they can call 578-7640 for assistance.
A second mailing was being sent to people who originally ID'd themselves as elderly/disabled to remind them to update their interest to be on the waiting list.

FYI:
It's always a good idea to keep a log/note/copy of your discussion with Section 8 and who you talked to, for your own records.


San Diego Housing Commission Has Extended the Deadline Past the November 16th Date, Call for Details: 619-578-7640, or go On Line: www.sdhc.org
