Be patient, as you wait through the process, do not refresh because it may cancel you out.

ATTENTION PLEASE! NEVER pay money to apply for housing!

Once the lottery closes, DHA will begin with an automated/random drawing throughout the following year. Lottery numbers do not carry over from year to year.

Please be patient, for example, based on budget projections for 2021, each of the lottery applicants has a roughly 6% chance of having their application pulled.

Selected (random) applicants from the lottery will work with the Admissions Department on next steps.
