Cal. Civ. Code § 8-37ee-806
Filling from the waitlist
Operative Text
(a) Within its area of operation, each entity shall use its waitlist to fill vacant dwelling units or available housing opportunities. (b) Once the waitlist sequence is determined, entities shall select applicants from the waitlist in order, matching households to units according to household size and number of bedrooms, other than where preferences are applied, as set forth in section 8-37ee-807 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. (c) When an entity selects applicants from the waitlist based on the numerical sequence of the waitlist or the application of preferences, as appropriate, the entity shall determine the eligibility of the applicant to be housed, as set forth in sections 8-37ee-905 and 8-37ee-906 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies.
Connecticut regulation Conn. Agencies Regs. § 8-37ee-806 governs how housing entities must use their waitlists to fill vacant units. Applicants are to be selected in the established numerical order, with households matched to units based on household size and bedroom count, unless an approved preference applies. Before a selected applicant can be housed, the entity must also conduct a formal eligibility determination as outlined in related sections of the same regulations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Conn. Agencies Regs. § 8-37ee-806, housing entities operating waitlists are expected to maintain a clear numerical sequence and draw from that list in order when vacancies arise. Compliant operators document how households are matched to appropriately sized units and apply any approved preferences only as permitted under § 8-37ee-807. Before moving a selected applicant forward, operators complete the eligibility review process described in §§ 8-37ee-905 and 8-37ee-906 to confirm the household qualifies for placement.

Conn. Agencies Regs. § 8-37ee-806 establishes that applicants on a housing waitlist have a right to be considered in the order their position was established, with unit assignments based on household size and bedroom needs. If preferences are applied, they must conform to the standards set out in the related regulations, and any eligibility determination must follow the procedures in §§ 8-37ee-905 and 8-37ee-906. Tenants or applicants who believe they were skipped or improperly passed over may consider reaching out to the housing entity for clarification, consulting a tenant-rights organization, or contacting the Connecticut Department of Housing for guidance on available remedies.
