Korean American Coalition to Assist Applicants for Section 8 Waiting List

Korean American Coalition to Assist Applicants for Section 8 Waiting List  

Los Angeles, CA – Section 8 is a federal Housing Assistance program that provides eligible low-income households with the opportunity to live in privately-owned properties. Participants pay about 30% of their income towards rent with the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) paying the rest of the contract rent to the landlord. The HACLA Section 8 Waiting List has been closed since 2004, but HACLA will be selecting another 20,000 names through a lottery system during a two-week period this year: October 16 to 29, 2017.

KAC recognizes that there is a portion of the Korean American community that is not English proficient and, despite their need for this program, faces language barriers in applying for the Section 8 Waiting List. Therefore, KAC will be opening its doors to provide bilingual application assistance in Korean and English from October 16 to 20, 2017 between 11am and 1pm at the KAC office. We ask that applicants prepare the following information before coming to the KAC office:


  1. Your email address (to create an email account, go to gmail.com or yahoo.com or get help at your local library);
  2. The name of the head of household, his/her date of birth, current address and mailing, phone number, and social security number or alien registration number, if he/she has one (non-legal residents can also apply, as long as at least one member of the household has legal status);
  3. The name of the spouse/co-head of the household (if applicable), his/her date of birth, current address, phone number, and social security number or alien registration number, if he/she has one;
  4. The total number of people (including yourself) that will live in the household;
  5. Your household’s total annual income from all sources
