Applicants will be added to our wait list and will receive an email confirmation within four days of application submission
The wait for an available apartment can be anywhere from two weeks to two months
Your email confirmation will provide suggestions for additional housing options. It is impossible to know exactly when a Halo House apartment will be available, therefore we strongly encourage you to get on wait lists for other organizations
If your need date changes, DO NOT submit a new application as this will only delay your application process
To make any changes to your application, please call 713-665-8852 or send an email to mail@HaloHouseFoundation.org letting us know the patient’s full name and the changes to be made
