I AM Session 6: Strengthening Emergency Preparedness for Independent Living

05/01/2026

If you’re currently on a public housing waiting list in , you’ll want to pay close attention to this update.

The of Baltimore City is preparing to roll out a new location-based waiting list system that will change how applicants are selected and placed. As part of the transition, anyone already on a public housing waiting list will be required to go in and update their application to remain eligible.

The new system gives applicants more control by allowing them to choose up to three housing developments where they’d like to live. There’s also a “first available” option for those who prefer to be placed in the next open unit they qualify for, regardless of location.
