Instead, it gives you a voucher that you use to rent a home from a private landlord.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"mx-5 sm:mx-0 prose leading-relaxed text-lg mb-5 text-left wp-paragraph\">\n<p>Another source of confusion is the waiting list. In many cities, demand far exceeds supply. Some lists are completely closed. Others are only open for short periods.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"mx-5 sm:mx-0 prose leading-relaxed text-lg mb-5 text-left wp-paragraph\">\n<p>This uncertainty causes many people to give up before they even start \u2014 or to miss opportunities simply because they are not informed.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"mx-5 sm:mx-0 prose leading-relaxed text-lg mb-5 text-left wp-paragraph\">\n<p>There&#039;s also a misconception that only homeless or unemployed people qualify.
