Established in 1999, the Anaheim House is close enough to Disneyland to enjoy the nightly fireworks and features a family room as well as a living room, a covered patio in the backyard, many houseplants and a large fish tank. The Anaheim Housing Authority is the only HA in Orange County currently accepting applications for a Section 8 waiting list. Applicants who live or work in Anaheim receive preference on the list, and residents of our Anaheim House typically receive a Section 8 certificate within two to three years. (The average wait for Section 8 in the remainder of the County is four to ten years.) |
