Our Waitlist Is Closed

The Housing Authority of Thurston County (HATC) has closed the waitlist. We will not be accepting any new applications at this time. When we open the waitlist up to receiving more applications, we will announce it.

Applicant Portal:

We recently transitioned to a new software system. The Assistance Connect applicant portal is not available at this time. We are actively working towards launching the portal and hope to have it active in the Spring of 2025. We will send out notices to all active applicants when it is available. The applicant portal will allow you to check your application status, update contact information, update household information, and receive notices from our agency. Please keep an eye on your mail for our notice coming soon.

 

Common Questions:

I applied during the November-December 2023 waitlist opening. When will I know if I was selected to be placed on the waitlist?
Starting February 2024, we will contact applicants to inform them if they were selected to be placed on any of the waitlists or not. To view your application status, you can go to www.waitlistcheck.com. You will need your User ID and Password that you created when you applied. If you do not remember that information, you can still check using your date of birth and social security number that you applied with.

If I am selected to be on a waitlist, what happens next?
If you are selected, you will be notified and placed on the waitlist you are selected for. Once you reach the top of the list, we will contact you to begin verifying if you are still eligible. In order to check your status, please go to the online portal at www.assistancecheck.com and log on using the same User ID and Password that you created for Waitlist Check. If you did NOT create a User ID and Password with Waitlist Check, then you will need to create an Applicant account on assistancheck.com. Through the applicant portal you will be able to check your status on the waitlist, update contact information, add or remove family members from your household, and send messages.

If I am selected, do I need to do anything while I am on the waitlist?
You will need to make sure you update your contact information with us if it changes. If your name reaches the top of the list or if we send you an Information Update request and you do not respond, you will be removed from the waitlist. If you are removed from a waitlist, you would need to reapply when the waitlist is open again. If you have been notified that you've been selected to be placed on a waitlist, go to the online portal at www.assistancecheck.com to create an Applicant account if you have not already done so. Through the applicant portal you will be able to check your status on the waitlist, update contact information.
