Under 15 Ark. Code R. pt. 86 § 86-408, Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties in Arkansas are required to maintain a formal waiting list as part of their tenant-selection process. Only applicants who have submitted a completed application may be placed on the list, and all applications must be logged with the date and time they were received. The waiting list must track relevant details such as bedroom size, subsidy need, disability accommodation needs, and gross income, and properties serving multiple income tiers must maintain separate lists or columns for each applicable income limit (30%, 50%, 60%, or other).
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of LIHTC properties subject to 15 Ark. Code R. pt. 86 § 86-408 generally maintain a waiting list that captures the date and time each completed application is received, ensuring no incomplete applications are added. Compliant operators organize the list with columns reflecting bedroom size, subsidy availability, program priorities, disability accommodation needs, and gross income. When a property serves residents at more than one income level, operators maintain distinct lists or clearly separated columns for each income tier—such as 30%, 50%, or 60% of area median income—to demonstrate proper applicant tracking across all program categories.

Under 15 Ark. Code R. pt. 86 § 86-408, applicants for LIHTC housing in Arkansas have a right to be placed on the waiting list once a completed application has been submitted, and their position should reflect the date and time that application was received. If you believe your application was improperly excluded from the waiting list, logged out of order, or that your income tier was not correctly tracked, you may raise these concerns with the property management in writing. Tenant-rights organizations in Arkansas can help applicants understand how waiting list requirements apply to a particular property and what avenues exist for addressing potential recordkeeping concerns.
