You will be notified by mail to come in for a Briefing meeting. If you do not come for the first meeting, you will be invited to the second scheduled meeting. If you do not attend the second meeting, or contact us with a valid excuse for missing the meetings, you will be removed from the Wait List. You will not be admitted if you are late for the meeting.

At the Briefing Meeting, a private meeting will be scheduled for your family. You will bring your updated application and documents, sign forms, and provide us with Birth Certificates or Drivers License and Social Security Cards for each of your family members. A basic criminal background check will also be completed prior to the meeting. If your family is eligible for the program you will be issued a Voucher at this time.

The Voucher is good for 60 days, and can be extended for another 60 days if necessary. If you don't use your Voucher in the allotted time, it will expire and you will need to reapply. While you have your Voucher, you will be expected to look for an appropriate apartment for your family to rent.

You can contact our office and ask where you are on the list. Keep in mind though that it is probably only necessary to contact us every six months or so if you are waiting to receive a Voucher. We are currently advising new applicants that the wait is typically 12- 18 months to receive a Voucher. Remember to make sure we have a current address when you call. We send form by mail each year to Waiting List applicants. If the letter is returned as undeliverable, you will be removed from the Waiting List. View your position online here.

Giving preference to specific groups of families enables a Housing Authority to direct their limited housing resources to the families with the greatest housing needs. Since the demand for housing assistance often exceeds the limited resources available to the local Housing Authority, long waiting periods are common. Preference points allow applicants to move up the waiting list faster. We provide additional preference points for the residents of Carlton County, Veterans, victims of domestic violence under the Violence Against Women Act, floods/fire significance, senior/near senior/ person with physical and/or mental disability. To receive the points, applicants must verify their address, provide a DO214 form if they are a Veteran, and work with WINDOW Victim Services if they are a victim (male or female) of domestic violence. The Cloquet/Carlton Housing Authority provides the following preference points: Carlton County Resident - 75 Veteran - 25 VAWA - 25
