How to Apply

The Waiting List is closed.  Applications are no longer being accepted. 



The 2022 waiting list received over 4000 applications which will result in a multi-year (estimated 3 - 5+ year) wait for housing. Please do NOT call the office to ask for your place in line as we are unable to determine that at this time.  We will reach out to you when you come to the top of the list.

If you are currently on the waiting list, you may check on the status of your application at 
http://grapevine.pha-web.com/wlstatus.aspx.   It is your responsibility to notify Grapevine Housing Authority (GHA) by email (GHA@grapevinehousing.gov) or mail (131 Starr Place  Grapevine, TX 76051) when your circumstances, mailing address, or phone number change.   Grapevine Housing Authority will reach out when the applicant gets toward the top of the waiting list.  If GHA cannot reach you, you may be removed from the waiting list.
