On May 1, 2025, AffordableHousing.com began notifying applicants of Section 8 Vouchers, that they need to confirm they are still interested and wish to stay on the waitlist or could be removed. If you received a text message or email from AffordableHousing.com about the status of your application, you should respond to them by following the instructions in their message. They are a Florida-based company. This is not a scam.

If you need to contact them, you should call 888-406-4003.

They are reaching out to inform you of the upcoming Annual Waiting List Update and Purge for the Vermont State Housing Authority (VSHA) and its network of housing partners.

Each year, on behalf of VSHA and its partners Affordablehousing.com will conduct an update and purge of the (90+) waiting lists to ensure applicant information is current and to remove individuals who are no longer interested in housing assistance. This process is essential for maintaining accurate, efficient, and responsive waitlist management.

Key Points for Applicants: Applicants who do not respond to the update request will be removed from the waiting list without further notification. It is critical that all applicants keep their mailing address, phone number, and email address up to date to avoid unintended removal.

2025 Update Schedule:

• May 1, 2025: First notification sent via email and text message to applicants who have not updated their application in over one year. (For those who have opted into this feature.)
• May 15, 2025: USPS First Class Mail update request sent to any remaining applicants who have not yet responded online or through VSHA or a PBV Partner.
• May 29, 2025: Deadline to complete the update process.
• May 30, 2025: Applicants who have not completed their update by this date will be removed from the waiting list.

Applications open on 01 November 2024 to flood-effected households. The program opens to all others on 15 November.
