Housing Choice Voucher Lottery To Be Held

How The Voucher Lottery Works:

Purpose: The Housing Choice Voucher Waiting List was recently opened from June 10, 2026, to June 16, 2026. During this time, approximately 400 applications were received. 

Drawing:

Applications will be randomly drawn in a public forum, and applicants will be placed on the waiting list in the order drawn. The lottery will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, in the HACG Multipurpose room at 1103 Broad Street, Greenville, NC. The lottery drawing is open to the public. If your number is not selected, you must reapply for a Housing Choice Voucher when the waiting list reopens.

How hard is it to win the voucher lottery?

There is some element of luck involved. To keep things fair, each applicant is randomly assigned a number from 1 to the total number of vouchers received. (Ex. If HACG receives 350 applications, applications will be randomly assigned the numbers 1-350.)
