Terms of Service

Effective Date: April 19, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Section 8 Waitlist (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the website located at section8waitlist.org, together with any subdomains and related services (collectively, the "Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Site.

1. Eligibility

The Site is intended for use by individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is greater. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are accessing the Site on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

2. Description of Services

The Site is an informational directory of federal, state, and local housing assistance programs, including but not limited to the Housing Choice Voucher program (Section 8), Public Housing, Project-Based Vouchers, and related programs administered by Public Housing Authorities ("PHAs"). The Company is an independent publisher. The Company is not a government agency, is not a PHA, and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) or any state, local, or tribal government entity.

The Company does not: (i) accept, process, adjudicate, or forward applications for housing assistance; (ii) issue, administer, or manage housing vouchers; (iii) determine eligibility for any housing program; (iv) operate or manage any rental property; or (v) provide legal, financial, tax, or housing-placement advice.

3. No Warranties; Informational Purpose Only

The Site and all content, data, and materials made available on or through the Site (collectively, "Content") are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company disclaims all warranties, including without limitation any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, and quiet enjoyment.

The Company makes no representation or warranty that the Content is accurate, current, or complete. Waitlist statuses, eligibility requirements, application windows, and other PHA-specific information change frequently and without notice. You must independently verify all information directly with the applicable PHA before relying upon it, submitting an application, or taking any other action.

4. No Fee to Apply

The Company does not charge any fee to search for, view, or be informed of housing waitlists. Applying for Section 8, Public Housing, or any other federal housing assistance program is, and will always be, free of charge to the applicant. Any person or website requesting payment in exchange for submitting or processing a federal housing application on your behalf should be regarded as fraudulent, and you should report such solicitations to the appropriate consumer-protection authorities.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree that you will not, and will not permit any third party to:

  • Access the Site by any means other than the interfaces we provide;
  • Use automated scripts, robots, scrapers, crawlers, or similar means to access the Site or extract Content, except in compliance with our robots.txt file;
  • Reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit any Content without our prior written authorization;
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Site, its servers, or the networks connected to the Site, including by transmitting viruses, Trojan horses, malware, or other harmful code;
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Site, to user accounts, or to our systems or networks;
  • Submit false, inaccurate, misleading, or fraudulent information through any form or submission mechanism on the Site;
  • Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;
  • Use the Site in violation of any applicable federal, state, local, or international law or regulation.

6. Intellectual Property Rights

All Content published on the Site, including without limitation editorial text, graphics, logos, icons, layout, organization, software, and trademarks, is the property of the Company or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws of the United States and other jurisdictions. Underlying public-sector data, including income limits and other government-published records, remains in the public domain; the selection, arrangement, editorial commentary, and presentation of such data on the Site are proprietary to the Company.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the Site and display Content for your personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

7. User Submissions

If you submit any information to us through a form on the Site, including tips regarding waitlist openings, you represent that you have the right to do so and that the submission is accurate to the best of your knowledge. You grant the Company a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, and display the submission in connection with operating and improving the Site. You are solely responsible for any submission you make.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may contain links to, and may interoperate with, third-party websites and services that are not owned or controlled by the Company, including official PHA portals, government resources, and our service providers. We do not endorse, and are not responsible for, the content, products, services, privacy practices, or policies of any third-party website or service. Your interactions with third parties are solely between you and such third parties.

9. Advertising

The Site is supported in part by advertising. Advertisements, including those delivered through Google AdSense and other advertising networks, are labeled as such and are served by third parties. The appearance of any advertisement, sponsorship, or sponsored placement on the Site does not constitute an endorsement by the Company of the advertiser or of the advertised products or services. Our practices with respect to advertising cookies are described in our Privacy Policy.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Company, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, or suppliers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including without limitation damages for lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, lost data, business interruption, or missed application windows, arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the Site, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall the Company's aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site exceed one hundred United States dollars (US$100.00). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so certain of the foregoing limitations may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (i) your access to or use of the Site; (ii) your violation of these Terms; (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity right; or (iv) any content you submit to or through the Site.

12. Modification and Termination of the Site

The Company reserves the right, at any time and without notice, to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Site or any portion thereof, and to remove or modify any Content. The Company may also suspend or terminate your access to the Site, in whole or in part, at any time for any reason, including if we determine in our sole discretion that you have violated these Terms.

13. Governing Law; Venue

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The exclusive venue for any judicial proceeding relating to these Terms shall be the state or federal courts located in Salt Lake County, Utah, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The revised Terms will be effective upon posting, as indicated by the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site following the effective date of any revision constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must discontinue use of the Site.

15. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Site and supersede all prior agreements. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision shall not operate as a waiver of that right or provision. These Terms are personal to you and may not be assigned or transferred by you without our prior written consent. The Company may assign these Terms without restriction.
