How do I submit an application? Applications can only be submitted online. If you need assistance with the application process, please call (808) 832-5961. Devices such as mobile phones and tablets with internet access may be used, however, not all operating systems support this application. No applications will be accepted at the HPHA’s office.

1. Be prepared by having the names, dates of birth, and social security numbers available for all persons who will be listed on your application. You will need to know the monthly gross income (before taxes) for each source of income for all persons listed on your application. You must list all the sources of income individually.

2. Complete the application online at www.hpha.hawaii.gov by clicking on “Apply Online Here”.

3. Applications submitted before or after the waiting list opening period will be automatically rejected and not accepted by the HPHA. Applications not fully completed (i.e., in the middle of submission) prior to the closing will be rejected.

4. Print your receipt, take a picture of, or write down your Application Confirmation Number. A confirmation receipt is issued immediately after the application is submitted. Print and save this confirmation.

Applicants can only apply for one geographic waiting list. No duplicate applications will be accepted. Any duplicate applications with same or similar household members will have both applications denied. Prior to adding any households to the waiting list, the HPHA will conduct extensive crosschecks to remove duplicate applications. Submitting a duplicate application will not improve your chances of being selected and can significantly delay housing for other applicants.

Does submitting an application mean I’m on the waiting list? No, the HPHA will be using a lottery to select a certain number of applicants to be placed on the waiting list. Following the closing of the waiting list, the HPHA will assign a position number after the lottery and the applicant will be placed on the applicable geographic waiting list unless rejected due to reasons listed above. All applicants will be notified by e-mail if they were selected by the lottery to be placed on the waiting list. Please do not contact the HPHA prior to receiving confirmation of placement on a waiting list. No information can be given out over the phone regarding the waiting list placements.

There is no fee or charge to apply for housing with the HPHA. Applicants are encouraged to immediately report any individual or organization who attempts to charge a fee for completion of the HPHA’s application process. Applicants should not respond to any fraudulent requests for an application fee.
