Is there a difference between an Inquiry List and a Waitlist? 是的, there is! They are two different types of lists and in this article we’ll explain what each of them are and the role they play in the affordable housing process.
Inquiry List:
查询列表是对社区表示有兴趣但尚未能够申请的个人的列表, 因为官方申请流程还没有开放. 加入查询列表可以让潜在居民收到更新信息, 有关何时以及如何申请的重要日期和说明. 它不保证住房或候补名单上的位置, 但它有助于让感兴趣的申请人了解情况并为下一步做好准备.
Waitlist:
A Waitlist is a list of applicants who have submitted a completed application and are eligible but cannot yet be offered an apartment because all available units are currently occupied. Applicants are placed on the list, by lottery (random selection process) or application date, depending if the community is new or existing. When a unit becomes available, the next applicant on the Waitlist is contacted to move forward in the leasing process. Being on the Waitlist does not guarantee immediate housing, but it ensures you are considered as apartments open up.
