Applicant Portal  

In the NEW Applicant Portal, you can easily apply for any MHRA waiting lists AND update your contact information. This system uses Two-Factor Identification to protect your information.

The Applicant Portal gives you easy access to:

• Apply to a Waiting List Online
• View/Update Your Existing Waiting List Applications
• View/Update Your Contact Information
• Contact MHRA Intake Staff about a Specific Waiting List Application
• Upload Documents Securely for a Specific Waiting List Application

If you are a new applicant, you can register for, and access the Applicant Portal after you have submitted your application online. If you are an existing waiting list applicant, you will receive a letter from MHRA which will give you instructions for logging into your Applicant Portal. For more information on How to Register, click here Applicant Portal Registration Instructions

You can access your Applicant Portal with your login credentials here:  Applicant Portal

Online Application  (Link to Online Application)

In the NEW online application system, you must apply separately for each waiting list that you wish to be placed on.

When you complete your first waiting list application online:

• You will receive a confirmation page immediately after completion, which contains your application Control Number and a registration code that can be used to create an account or to add to an existing account. Please print or take a screen shot of this page for your records.
• The options on this screen are:
  • Complete/Update Account (RECOMMENDED OPTION). Then on the next screen, click Register Code to add this code/application to your waiting lists. This must be done each time you create a new Waiting List Application.
  • Register Later. Registration codes expire after 60 days.
• Once you have applied for the first waiting list, go in and create an account to access that waiting list application and all others.

Within approximately a week, we will have your application in our system. You can check the estimated wait time for the housing programs by clicking on this link: Check Wait Time.

We will notify you by mail when your name is approaching the top of the list. Since our contact with waiting list applicants is only by mail, it is important to keep your address and contact information current and updated with us.

NOTE: If you already have submitted an online or paper application and are on a waiting list, DO NOT submit another application for that waiting list.

To Apply for Additional MHRA Waiting Lists

After applying for your first waiting list and receiving the confirmation page, create an account, and log into the Applicant Portal. In the Portal, scroll down and select Apply Online – Apply to additional waiting lists. The system:

• Offers the option to Copy Application Info (from previously submitted application) or to Create Blank Application.
• Will not allow you to create a new application duplicating previous waiting list/bedroom size applications.
• Will offer to save any new Registration Codes to your account as the application is completed. All applications will appear in your account.
