2025 Waiting List Update

Burbank Housing Corporation (BHC) operates an income-based waiting list system to manage vacancies within our 300+ affordable rental units. Our Affordable Housing Program is organized into four waiting lists based on state income limits for Los Angeles County.

• Extremely Low Income: ≤30% of Area Median Income

• Very Low Income: ≤50% of Area Median Income

• Lower Income: ≤80% of Area Median Income

• Moderate Income: ≤120% of Area Median Income

  
  

When a waiting list reaches capacity, BHC temporarily closes it to new applicants and performs an annual audit near the end of the calendar year to assess the status of each list. Following the audit, we provide an annual waiting list update to inform interested applicants about potential openings in the coming year.

2025 BHC Waiting List Lottery

Burbank Housing Corporation (BHC) will reopen its waiting list lottery for all four income levels: “Extremely Low,” “Very Low,” “Lower,” and “Moderate.”  While the application for the “Moderate” Income Waiting List was temporarily reopened earlier this year, it is currently paused and will officially reopen with all other income categories during the lottery application period.

The online lottery application will be open from July 7, 2025, at 9:00 AM through July 21, 2025, at 4:00 PM (PST).

All applications must be submitted online during this two-week window. Once the application period closes, BHC will conduct a randomized lottery to determine which eligible households will be added to the bottom of the existing waiting list.

Please Note:

• Eligibility for the lottery does not guarantee placement on the waiting list. Your application must be randomly selected during the lottery to be added to our waiting list.

• Being added to the waiting list does not guarantee immediate housing. The average wait time to be offered a BHC affordable rental unit is between 2–5 years.

We encourage all interested applicants to review eligibility requirements and gather necessary documentation ahead of time. Additional information and updates will be available on our website: https://www.burbankhousingcorp.org/2025lottery
