Waiting List
Gastonia Housing Authority Section 8 Waiting Lists
The Gastonia Housing Authority provides an interactive automated phone system called “My Waiting List” that will allow you to check your position on the waiting list? To use the system dial 704-675-7677 to access the “My Waiting List” feature. Follow the prompts to obtain your position. You will need your social security number and date of birth to access your records.
Let the prompts to enter your social security number and your date of birth finish completely before entering your information. Otherwise, the system may not be able to retrieve your record.
It is normal for waiting list positions to fluctuate based on new applications being entered, applications being dropped, and due to application and system updates.
Applicants can check waiting list status by calling 704-675-7677
When calling to check your waiting list status, allow the prompts to finish before you enter your information. Not doing so can result in the keep the system from finding a record of your application.
The Gastonia Housing Authority (GHA) uses a preference system to determine waiting list position. Gaston County residents who are elderly, disabled, or families with children are placed higher on the waiting list than other applicants. In addition, offers for housing must meet Federal regulations regarding income deconcentration. Because of these requirements it is not uncommon for your position on the waiting list to change (become lower). If you believe your waiting list position is not correct, you can email us at hcvadmissions@ghanc.org. Please use the subject line Waiting List Position. If you do not have email you can send us a letter at
