WAITING LIST

Burbank Housing Corporation operates a waiting list system to fill all of its vacancies. Interested applicants must first apply for the BHC Waiting List to enter any of our rental units. Our Affordable Housing Program has four waiting lists that are categorized by income level. The income and rent requirements are established by the State of California for Los Angeles County.

​

The opportunity to apply for the Burbank Housing Corporation’s affordable housing program is offered without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, religion, ancestry, genetic information, source of income, age, marital status, familial status, sexual orientation or preference, gender identity, or disability, or any other basis prohibited by law.

​

If you are a person with a disability and require assistance in filling out our affordable housing waiting list application, you may contact our office to request assistance.

APPLICATION PROCESS

When a BHC Waiting List is filled to capacity, our office will close the waiting list and its application process until we complete our annual waiting list audit. Please keep in mind that a waiting list may remain closed for several years.

​

When space allows, our income-based waiting lists will have a two-week open application process. After the application process closes, a random lottery is conducted with the eligible applications. A limited number of applications are randomly selected and placed on the bottom of the waiting list. 

ANNUAL UPDATE

To determine if a waiting list will reopen in the following year, BHC conducts an annual audit of the waiting list near the end of the calendar year. Every year, BHC prepares a waiting list update to inform interested applicants about upcoming waiting list openings. Our annual waiting list updates include important deadlines and instructions.

WAITING LIST & PROGRAM GUIDELINES

​​

Waiting List

The BHC Waiting List applies to ALL units in our properties. NO specific unit/building requests will be granted. A household is only given two opportunities to accept or qualify for an available BHC unit. 

​

Our waiting list only has one preference for households that live or work in the city of Burbank, CA. 

​

Households on our waiting list are notified via telephone and mailed postcard when an apartment suitable for the household's income and size becomes available. This could take anywhere from a few months to a few years.

 

It is the applicant's responsibility to notify the BHC office if their income, address, phone number, or household composition changes while on the BHC Waiting List. Failure to update an application could result in removal from the waiting list. Proof of income, Burbank residency, or Burbank employment may be required.

​

Every October, BHC conducts a mandatory audit by sending time-sensitive correspondence to all households on our waiting list. Failure to respond by the deadline indicates a disinterest in our Affordable Housing Program & will result in removal from the waiting list.

A copy of the official Waiting List Policy is available by written request.
