How do I submit an application? Applications can only be submitted online. 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 offi ce.
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 or www.hphaishereforyou.org 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 Confi rmation Number. A confi rmation receipt is issued immediately
after the application is submitted. Print and save this confi rmation.
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 signifi cantly 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 notifi ed
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 confi rmation 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.
Organizations that may be able to assist with the application process are Parents and Children Together (PACT), We are Oceania, Helping Hands
Hawaii, Honolulu Community Action Program (HCAP), and Aloha United Way.
Applicants who require a reasonable accommodation must contact the HPHA before the waiting list opens to ensure that assistance is provided
timely. Please call (808) 832-6046 for assistance with a reasonable accommodation or email hpha@hawaii.gov.
