Instructions
Welcome to the Santa Ana Housing Authority Project-Based Voucher Program Pre-Application Portal
The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana will be accepting pre-applications for the Project-Based Voucher (PBV) Program at two specific project locations beginning Friday, December 1, 2023 at 7:30 AM (Pacific Standard Time) until further notice. Read the description of each property and requirements before making a selection.
Pre-applications can be submitted online using a computer, smartphone, tablet or other electronic device with Internet access. SAHA has partnered with several agencies to provide computer access. A computer kiosk is also available for you in our offices at 20 Civic Center Plaza, 1st Floor, Santa Ana, CA. You do not need to come to our office to submit an application.
Using Google Translate, the pre-application is available for you in all languages. Before applying, we recommend that you change the website from English to your preferred language.
You must apply for each project location you are interested in by checking the location during the application process. The waiting lists are for apartments assisted with project-based vouchers at the specific location. Your family must live in the offered PBV-assisted units in order to receive assistance. Applications are non-transferable and you must apply for each project separately. Please read the description of each project carefully as you must qualify including income restrictions and family-size requirements.
The Santa Ana Housing Authority has established a local preference for applicants who live or work in the City of Santa Ana. Persons who live in unincorporated areas of Santa Ana or outside of the City do not qualify for this preference. Please do not contact the Santa Ana Housing Authority after you submit your application. We will notify applicants in writing when an application is selected for the specific project location.
Applicants who require assistance in completing a pre-application because of a disability and need a reasonable accommodation, or because they require language translation services or communication in an alternate format may call our Waiting List Hotline at (714) 667-2284 during our regular business hours Monday through Thursday, between 7:30AM to 5:30PM, or Friday, 8:00AM to 5:00PM. Our offices are closed every other Friday.
Only one pre-application per household per project will be accepted. Duplicate pre-applications for the same project will be rejected. You must submit one pre-application per household per project.
