Even though the President didn’t make it to the Gulf Coast for Katrina’s anniversary this year, we all know he deserves a vacation. And even during vacation, he sent a message. Watch it here:
The Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO) has announced they will open the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section Eight) waiting list from September 6 to September 12, 2009.
Applications can be picked up from the following branches of the New Orleans Public Library:

The agency also claims applications can be downloaded from their website, www.hano.org, but alas, several Katrina survivors reported there is no appplication download link available.
The application will also be published on the Times-Picayune on August 23, 26, or 29, 2009, or the Louisiana Weekly on August 27, 2009.
Completed applications will only be accepted by mail at the following address and must be postmarked no later than September 12, 2009 and mailed to:

The forms can also be emailed to: hanowaitlist@smartinc1.com
No hand delivered applications will be accepted at HANO’s offices and applications postmarked or emailed before 9/06/09 or AFTER 9/12/09 WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED
HANO will conduct a lottery to determine an applicant’s place on the waiting list, and they will be notified by mail of their position on the list.
Remember, applications should NOT be mailed before September 6.
