Vista Ballona Affordable Housing Lottery, Wednesday 10/27/21 at 6pm
Did you or someone you support apply for the WRC Vista Ballona affordable housing lottery? If so, join us on Wednesday, October 27th at 6pm. All Vista Ballona housing applications have been collected and will be randomized and given a waitlist number. During this zoom meeting, WRC’s Interim Executive Director, and WRC Housing Manager will call off the Unique Client Identifier Numbers (UCI#) for the individuals that will be invited to formally apply for one of the 12 one-bedroom apartment units at Vista Ballona. The UCI is a 7-digit number that can be found on your Individual Program Plan (IPP) or requested through your service coordinator. Please note, that your number being called off does NOT guarantee an apartment. More numbers will be called than units available in case people at the top of the list do not get approved. If you are invited to apply formally and cannot make this lottery, you may contact your Service Coordinator on 10/28/21 to learn what number you have been assigned on the waitlist. Individuals who are invited to apply formally will receive the application via email or mail if no email address was provided.
Spanish Interpretation will be provided. This meeting will not be recorded but ALL qualified applicants will receive an email or phone call with their waitlist number, regardless of whether they will be moving on to formally apply at this time.
