CLT’s Application Process

CLT often has vacancies in various subsidy programs.
Come apply with us!

Applying for CLT housing starts with a visit to Intake Tuesday. These are walk-in meetings, no appointment necessary.

Many of our “units” (apartments) are connected to other programs. This means that you would need to apply for that particular program and be accepted before you would be able to get a place with CLT. CLT also has its own application process.

Here are some of the programs that we are currently accepting tenants from:

Section 8 (Housing Authority)

This is a program from HUD and your local Housing Authority
“Vouchers” to pay for rent can be specific to the unit OR come from outside (portable voucher)

These programs are called “rental assistance.” For more info on rental assistance programs, click here.
