KINGSTON – RUPCO, as local administrator for New York State Homes and Community Renewal, will open the Ulster County Housing Choice Voucher Waiting List, also known as Section 8, at 9 a.m., October 15, through 4:30 p.m., November 15.

Interested applicants can download an application online from www.rupco.org or pick up a hard copy at RUPCO’s office; 289 Fair Street, Kingston starting on October 15. All applications must be completed, signed, and mailed or dropped off at the mailbox in the lobby of 289 Fair Street. No faxed or e-mailed applications will be accepted.

The Housing Choice Voucher Program provides rental assistance for families with low or modest incomes to enable them to choose and lease affordable, privately owned rental housing. RUPCO administers the program in Ulster and Greene counties.
