Submitting your LIPH application is just the beginning of your housing journey. Understanding what happens next helps you stay proactive and avoid missing opportunities. At Rockford Housing Authority (RHA), we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Understanding the Waitlist
RHA’s centralized waitlist allows you to apply once and be considered for several housing options. This streamlined process ensures fairness, reduces confusion, and helps connect qualified applicants to available units faster.
What Happens After You Apply
Once your application is received, our Centralized Applications team reviews your eligibility, notes your preferences, and places you on the appropriate lists. Timely updates are sent by mail, phone, or email to keep you informed.
How to Stay Active and Eligible
You must respond to all notices, attend required appointments, and keep your personal details up to date. Failure to engage with RHA’s communications could delay your progress—or result in removal from the waitlist entirely.
Stay engaged, stay informed, and stay ready. Visit rockfordha.org/contact-us or call (815) 489-8500 if you have questions. Let’s move forward—together.
