Gastonia Housing Authority
Consolidated Public Housing & Section 8 Waiting Lists

Due to workload and call volume GHA staff cannot accept telephone requests for positions on the waiting list. Instead, applicants can find their position by using GHA’s Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system.

Positions may change on a constant basis due to voucher issuance, new applicants being added to the waiting list, and/or purging of the waiting list, etc. Therefore, the waiting list is updated on a continuous basis but GHA cannot give you the specific dates that the waiting list will be updated.

To use the IVR system, follow these steps:

  • Dial any GHA main or department phone number:

704-864-5524
Section 8 Department
