This is detailed guide on how to qualify for income housing and score high on the priority waiting list for housing. The detailed information I will be sharing, will help you score high on their assessment questions and housing prioritization tool.
I have the actual HUD operations manuals that will show you how to best answer their intervention assessment questions, and how to score high on the housing prioritization wait list.
Continuum of Care has designed the Coordinated Access System described in this manual to coordinate and strengthen access to housing for families and individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The Coordinated Access System institutes consistent and uniform assessment and referral processes to determine if they will qualify for Low Income Housing and secure the most appropriate response to each individual or family’s immediate and long-term housing needs.
Priority Waiting List Score
A single assessment tool will be used to prioritize homeless households for entry into permanent supportive housing or rapid rehousing program waiting list. The assessment tool is used to target youth, families,and single individuals. The housing prioritization tool focuses on the length of literal homelessness,physical & mental disabilities, frequency of service usage, & lack of adequate mental or health care.
Additionally, families with minor children presenting for assessment are asked to provide information regarding what school district the child(ren) attend. Referrals for this population will be sent with this data point so that children do not have to change schools. The assessment asks questions tailored to each population.
1. Homeless history
2. History of involvement with hospitals or jails
3. Criminal background history
4. Mental health history and lack of care
5. Physical health history and lack of care

Hi, I have a question regarding qualifications based on living with family for over 1 year. I believe u stated that if youve been living in one place over 90 days straight even without a lease u wouldnt qualify for coc is that correct? If so what would u recommend as an alternative option for housing assistance? Thank you
just had a interview and they asked these questions 🙌🏾 way to have me prepared man so much respect to you i cant say that enough
Thank you! I've had 100% success rate getting people housed and at the top of wait list all around the country.Keep us posted .
Pay it forward and help others !
Cyber Mixologist ohh yes ima send to my friends and family that been needing help man cant believe this is all the info i ever needed after all these years
Most are shocked when they learned this , any many fail without knowing this.
I just watched this video on 1.2.24. Thank you so much for all your help. I feel much more confident about answering the questions now. Just getting started. Never thought I would be in this position. Nurse for 39 yrs then on disability. Can't make it on disability 😢
I’m applying now for 20 years later
I can tell you that they lost your application 15 years ago , there is no waiting list on the planet that is 20 years.
here for the 2nd video 🙌🏾
Ive been and I hope its not that virus , The video will be delayed sorry.
How can I get a private consultation and what's the fee I am currently on my last 2 weeks of my section 8 voucher extension I came to Kauai because my time clock was running out and no one would rent to no one that lived off the island I. Living at a camp in extreme pain from my arthritis I've gone to every agency to help bridge the gap as they say catholic charities united way salvation army and the agencies that HUD lists as their partners signed up for shelter waitlist no one will help I know my worker is gonna deny my extension I've even seen the doctor took exrays showing arthritis in my knees
Thanks for reaching out to us, we would be happy to assist you with your case, information ,prices and appointments can be booked here section8consulting.setmore.com/
I've watched three of your videos. I am on SSDI for mental issues. Have been for over 5 years. I have been placed in group homes by Mental Health Court and still in Mental Health Court. I really would like your advice on how to apply for HUD. How should I start? I live in Fort Pierce Florida and would appreciate any links or advice you have to offer on getting in fast as possible and being approved quicker in my situation. Your videos are great and thanks.
This was not easy to find ,but here is their employee operations manuals for homeless and low income test.www.tchelpspot.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/HMIS-Policies-Procedures-1.pdf
Now if you want get normal HUD heres everything they have www.hud.gov/states/florida/renting
With a mental illness I would go with a COC program in the first link, being its much faster and they will pay all your rent PSH .I hope this helps .
I'm sorry to bother you. I'm still waiting on SSI for disability- I have my exam next Tuesday. I've been homeless since 19 (so going on 8 years) and I have a computer at my friends house. I've mostly been staying with them on and off since then- they are were I have all my mail sent to. Do they check with Social Security Disability? Does that mean I don't qualify as homeless? (Colorado, here!)
If your not on lease they can prove your not homeless ,so your fine in that area.Having SSD actually improves your ranking on the list , it wonder you have not applied before.
Been watching and letting ads run (least thing I could do for all of your info) Would you know the COC for Phoenix, AZ?
housing.az.gov/balance-state-continuum-care-boscoc#:~:text=A%20Continuum%20of%20Care%20is,housing%20and%20maximum%20self%2Dsufficiency.
I had turnt in my application had warrants but finally cleared them up I'm wondering did i get on the waiting list before they view my application they said when they called you in that's when they check for all of that
It only madders on the day they hand you a voucher and run the check You have nothing to worry about!
Thank you i was a lil worry thanks
@@jenniferwhifield5934 Relax you will do fine.
Hi thank you for this video it was very helpful I’m currently struggling through this situation and need housing in Houston but my only question is do I apply online or where do I go to be able to apply ?
There no online ways to apply for a COC but you can call HUDfor normal housing.I know this is not what your hoping to hear but I would strongly advise going in person before the system is flooded from the virus fallout.
Cyber Mixologist thank you I am able to go in person do you know any offices that I can go to ?

@@brittanyparada763 My advice is to study the tests in my videos and you will score very high.To avoid a long wait try to be there at 7 am use everything Ive been teaching in my videos. I have never had person in any state who used my videos and report being any lower than the top 10% of any wait list , in fact most score top top 5 %..
I'm own property that I'd like to offer to the state of GA (Atlanta) for Rapid ReHousing and other programs like COC.
Question 1: How do I go about getting my properties into the system? I get flooded by people saying they need housing assistance and I'm not sure who to send them to so they can afford one of our spaces.
Question 2: Also, how much are the vouchers for?
Question 3: Do they allow vouchers for home-sharing/coliving arrangements (private bed/shared room, bath and common areas)?
Question 4: Last question, how long does it take for someone to get a voucher/assistance?
What you're doing is amazing. You are a hero seriously, these waters are difficult to navigate successfully. Thanks in advance!
Question 1 ,You need to go to HUD office and make (Request for Unit Approval)stick with COC
Question 2, COC will pay the rent up to 100% no limit on time ,The Hud vouchers only last 2 years and pay less each month as the state wings them off (risky if client cant pay ).
Question 3, House sharing etc , thats called being a boarding house and yes they allow this if you pass there inspections.
Question 4, COC they can get in a 1 -30 days . HUD vouchers waiting list 6 months - 10 years depending on waiting list.
If you take in elderly, formerly homeless, disabled you will likely get 100% payment with no time limits,Hud vouchers very flaky but it worth try if you think the renter will pay .Once your in the system you have no issue get renters very fast.The payment you get is based on the market rate for your area plus the number of rooms you have.
Thank you for your kind words.Share what you have learned and help those who need it the most .

I’ve been on the waitlist since 2013 it’s finally down to 380 people my question is how to qualify for a 3bd voucher instead of 2bd, I have 2 boys a 4 year old with disability and 14 yr old?
The minute the 4 year old hits 5 you can apply for extra room.
Hi I live in North Jersey I am severely asthmatic and I have 2 children. My daughter is hooked up on a ventilator. My parents kicked me out 2 years ago. When I applied for housing in the city where I resided I stated that I was still living with my parents because I thought that I wouldn't be eligible if said I was staying in a different city. I called housing department today to check my place on the waiting list and I was told that I am 480th on the waiting list. During these 2 years I was living with a friend. I would pay her rent but she would get drunk and kick me out often and when she did I had to stay in motels. I am back at my parents home for now but I am worried they will kick me out again and I have no where to turn to.II
First off, if your 480 on list 66,000 your insanely close to being housed in few months.You need to apply at a COC so they can move you to a hotel till your number comes up so you don't have to deal with drunks.
Hello, thank you for helping people. I just saw your video and i have been reading all the comments and how you are assisting everyone Please help me if you can. I am 65 years old and I am retired from Florida School District, 20 yrs as a Teacher Assistant. I lost my Florida home in 2008 and I have been renting since. Rental is very expensive here and I can't afford it anymore, even a 1 bedroom rent is $700 and you have to share a bathroom I applied in 4 different low income for senior's places and my name is on their waiting list. These are from 2 to 5 years. I was living with my daughter but her family is growing and they don't have the space for me. Please can you send me a link here in Central Florida that can help me. Thanks in advance.

I live near Houston Texas .can you send me a link on how to apply asap .Every time i Google anything its so confusing and hard to get resources that are legit .Love your videos by the way . Also not only do i have a ruptured disk Asthma/ copd Depression / Bipolar anxiety and was addicted to narcotic medication until they cracked down on laws and doctors are afraid to prescribe it any more .I am a single parent with 2 children 14 year old twins one who is severely autistic. And 2 adult children one of who lives with me . What I don't get is why it's so hard it seems and maybe it's just me to really get a One-Stop shop for help. Being that I can't work because I'm a full-time caretaker of my son. And even when I search for resources for him to be possibly placed out of the home so I can work and support my family they have no real help out there it is very frustrating and very sad. I can't get respite care for my son because I have no place to call home. And being a single parent and having no one to really watch him makes it even more difficult they need better programs for single mothers with or without special needs children. Thank you so much and God bless all praying that each and everyone of you get a place to call home .
RUclips delayed a lot of comments for weeks ,Im just now getting this. I live in Houston also, I have been through the system myself at one point so I know it works . Here's the operations manual , test and everything you ever need to know.Based on the information you gave me , you would score in the highest range and get housing faster than everyone. irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/2d521d2c/files/uploaded/Coordinated-Access-System-Operations-Manual-June-2019-FINAL_HSrpZRThSbK1O6TM1VOw.pdf
Hi. I wanted to ask a question. I was kicked off of housing because I got a grant for college and didnt tell them. I thought govt money for college was strictly for that purpose and didnt know hud would consider it income; as most of the money was used by the college. So they say I owe them money. They kicked me off 5 yrs. Well its been 9yrs. They are now accepting appplications. If I go down there- can I get back on housing while paying the 'debt' off?
The records from 9 years ago are long gone with HuD .The HUD rules have changed drastically from those days.You will not have a problem and the debt most likely vanished from there records years ago.This is a civil matter ,so no jail time is possible.Had you done this in 2014 would be up the creek, as they now good records.Your loan is considered debt now so that works in your favor.They are interested in your in your income in the past year not way back.
@@snow-wlkr7xplorer494 The only possible way she would have this issue is if she is still applying in the same city. Either way there has been no recorded arrest for fraud under 100k hud related .She would have received a summons .Also call any bail bonds person in town ask if she has warrant if not there is nothing worrie about.People lie all the time on these applications and the jails would be flooded with poor section 8 clients.Also HUD only currently checks financial record going back 2 years.There has be something more that going on ...
@@snow-wlkr7xplorer494 I would not do this because if they still have her old paper records it will be updated in the new HUD system and she will be ban for life across the county.
@@snow-wlkr7xplorer494 I'm just saying don't risk getting ban nation wide in the case the same city has old paper records
Ok. Thankyou for your time in response. I appreciate it.
I'm 50 years old. I have asthma, diabetes and bipolar disorder. I haven't been homeless for 12 months. But I've homeless since May 9th. I've lived in 3 different hotels within the past month. I have no resource, family or friends I can stay with. I'm scared. I don't the stability to look or maintain employment. TDHS will not allow me to get Food stamps because they said I've used the allocated amount allowed.
Let me address few things to ease your mind , the reason your scare is because the only example of homeless you have seen is the hardcore homeless on the street , they don't represent the majority of people in shelters, programs or HUD housing, In fact most are fairly average people between 35- 60 and are Not high , drunk or filthy .All 3 medical issues you have makes you highly qualified for a COC housing , in fact you would likely score in the top 5%... COC housing doesn't require employment of any kind only that you apply , take there test /questionnaire and then you are place in 1 of 3 types of housing.FOOD STAMPS - more than likely got the 90 day emergency allotment, so all you would need to do is volunteer 10-20 hours a month at place like the library and you would then qualify again for food stamps, they wont tell you this because this is how get people out the door.When you apply for COC housing you can ask your worker to help you with volunteer work food stamps to you remain qualified.I would need to know the state and city you live in then I can send you there employee manual with basically all the questions, answers and things they dont want you to know.Once you study it and learn how score high go apply and you will get housing ....
Would having young children put myself at risk of family services if I say I am homeless/ couch surfing? Need manual for Arlington, TX area. I've watched 3 of your videos & feel this will definitely come to use, as I will be kicked out of a friends house within 4 weeks. I have applied for public housing but need something ASAP. Please lmk ! Thank you!
A lot of families are homeless with kids in shelters, buses and even cars , what will get you in trouble is neglect or abuse especially if your involved in drinking , drugs or sexual stuff, with that being said no they don't just take your kids because your homeless.The manual you need is the the Texas 700 COC irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/2d521d2c/files/uploaded/Coordinated-Access-System-Operations-Manual-June-2019-FINAL_HSrpZRThSbK1O6TM1VOw.pdf this is the employee manual with the all the rules, tests and questions you should be prepared for.Once you have studied you can apply at any COC in the area.Because you have kids you will likly be put in hotel till the process is finished.
@@Section8Consulting ok great, no abuse. Lol im actually 7 months pregnant right now as well. Will that push me up the list or no? Also, do I just google COC in area? Or do I go to HUD & ask them to apply for COC or just HUD? 1 last thing, if I am looking in the San antonio TX area for housing as well, would it still be the same link? & can I ask to get transferred down there or do I only apply for the area of which I am residing in at the moment?
Being pregnant will speed up the process for sure and likely land you top spot on list. The manual is good for all of Texas .Please avoid HUD and go to a COC location ,it's simply faster.I would need to know what county or city your planning living in to give you COC address list.
@@Section8Consulting I will be in Bexar county. San Antonio, TX. Also, do I have to have a disability or no?
@@Section8Consulting I tried looking up a COC address but I'm not having any luck. Would you happen to know what's in the area? Bexar county, San Antonio, TX
Hi, I noticed you answered questions to all of your viewers.
I am in NYC, and I have gotten my life taken away from me. I need to get my life back in order. I need an apt badly. How do I go about this? Section 8, HUD, NYCHA, I don't care. I have no disabilities, no criminal record. I also have full time income.
Are you homeless or couch surfing?The reason I ask is because some options are faster and easier to get than dealing vouchers or HUD .
@@Section8Consulting Homeless. I'm willing to hear any option. Do you mind being emailed/Whatsapp'd?

I have a few questions for you. I have been staying w family close to two years without being on a lease. They will be selling the place in a few weeks and I will have to move out. I plan on relocating to the Raleigh NC area. I am currently on a few section 8 waiting list but it may take awhile to get to the top. Ultimately I do want to be on section 8 bc they have different homeownership programs. Am I able to Get on CoC until I’m at the top of a section 8 wait list? Also do you have information for coc for Raleigh NC and where to go to apply etc? You’re really saving ppl from being homeless. God bless you! New Subbie here!
Yes you can file with new updated information specifically with a COC , keep in mind The COC is faster than any HUD /8 waiting list .They both pull from the same housing pool but now you would get priority if your new COC application and score are higher.

Thank you again for your quick response!.. I forgot to add I currently was approved for ssdi so that should solidify my spot on Coc correct?
@@kysssims8764 That helps your case even more , make sure you bring all your paperwork ! You will likly be at the top 5 % of the list .
Thank you again for all you help! Been binge watching your videos they’re so informative. You mentioned on one video that you will discuss how to prove homelessness bc they will ask for documentation.. Did I miss that video?
Can you say you lived in your car will that qualify?
Living in your car is the same as living under the bridge .Your good to go !
Cyber Mixologist and when it comes to income do they check my taxes or should tell them what I made recently or last year?
@@1KEVX COC are only interested in your housing situation , Normal HUD may ask about taxes but you would need make over 40k Small cities or over 70k in places like Ny or San Fran
I'm permanently disabled leaving an abusive relationship and under the care of a therapist for C-PTSD. I hope I qualify
You would qualify at COC or DV program based on what you have said.
@@Section8Consulting thanks. This is terrifying
I grew in house were DV was common,I'm just glad they programs for this now.
on question 11 does SSI count as an income in their eyes??
Yes, but it doesn't matter.A lot folks using a COC get SSI.
Hello, I would like to know if I am elegible for coc program in the San Diego county, I live with my grandma but not in a room, does that counts as homeless? also I would like to be the tutor of my 16 years old sister (I’m 19 almost 20) but I don’t wanna affects my parents at all, what would you recommend to my situation?
If your not on lease and planning to move out in 14 days then yes you can apply for housing .If your staying I see no point you going to a COC.
The thing is we do not have enough space for both of us with my grandma but the thing is I don’t want to affect my parents If I filled as homeless for the fact that I am going to include my sister, also the fact that we don’t have mental illness does that drastically affects our elegibility?
Also I want to say thank you for taking the time to answer and do these helpful videos! You’re awesome 👏🏻
Being homeless accounts for 50 percent of score.Being mental is 5 percent,so you will do great on the score.Im always happy to young folks.Tnx
Your most welcome.
I live in Ontario Canada, I'm currently half way through an unplanned pregnancy and I lost my job do to Covid 19. I haven't been on a lease in almost 2 years but I have been renting a room. Unfortunately I need to be out in a little less then 2 months, and baby comes about 2 months later. I have already applied for housing but I'm worried as I do not have employment any longer and I'm not sure what job I can find and actually work while being a single mom to a newborn. I just need help, I've been a working person my whole life and I've always kept my head above water but right now I'm drowning. I don't want to be pregnant on the streets so I'm going to be looking into an emergency shelter when I have to leave at the end of next month but I don't want to raise my baby in a shelter :( I would love to eventually work and go to school so I can get a good job and be completely independent but I just need some help for a little while, I'm so desperate. I never thought I would ever be in a position like this.
If there anything specific you need to know please let me know .
@@Section8Consulting I'm mostly just worried about my chances of getting into housing before baby comes in mid september. I know I need to call to update my application once I'm considered homeless, but what then? Is there anything else I can do to secure my chances of getting a place to live? Will being in a shelter while pregnant increase my chances of being housed faster? I'm so scared to stay in a shelter while pregnant :(
Shelters separate women by gender and by having kids, so you have nothing to worry about other than dealing with women in your situation , in fact pregnant women tend to get the best services shelters have to offer which are private rooms.All theses factors will elevate you to the top of the housing list and they will most likely put you in hotel until you get your housing.You should get casework when at the hospital so you have more than one helping you.
Cyber Mixologist thank you for the info, this makes me feel a lot better going forward and less anxious. Sucks to be in this position but it’s good to know there are resources. Thanks again.
I think you will come out of this situation knowing you can handle just about anything. Most people find there way out of the shelter system fairly fast and life returns normal with you being great deal wiser.

@@Section8Consulting thank you, also is a disability required for permanent housing? Or as long as you qualify as chronic? I am looking into a women's shelter for help but don't know if I should wait to call this # For a longer period of help with rent. I don't want to get pushed down to Rapid rehousing by doing This. Any recommendation ?
I'm posting video about this 1 hour so you lucked out ! Trust me you would rather PSH over Rapid , you need get paper work together and update your file .You will not lose your place in either line,I would really watch the vid coming in hour.
