VNHS pulls applicants from the BC Housing Applicant Registry. When a VNHS housing unit becomes available, we will select eligible applicants from the BC Housing Registry based in the unit size, family composition and profiles, income, and waitlist priority.

These are the steps in the application process:
1. Complete Your Application Form
Please be sure to complete ALL sections of the Housing-Registry-Application-Form. If you need assistance in completing your application, please contact our receptionist at 604-320-3312 ext. 21, or BC Housing Applicant services at 604-433-2218.
3. Waitlist Placement
When BC Housing receives your completed application form, your name will be placed into the BC Housing Applicant Registry, according to date of application.
5. Keep Your Information Up to Date
Be sure to update your application with BC Housing every six-months, or whenever your information changes (whichever comes first). This is an important step in ensuring your application remains active, and we know you are still looking for safe, secure and affordable housing.
6. Applicant Selection
When a vacancy occurs, we search the BC Housing Applicant Registry and contact applicants according to the size of unit they require and the date of their application. We try to prioritize those who have been on the waitlist the longest.
7. Interview
The Property Manager who is responsible for the building in which the vacancy has occurred will interview all members of the applicant’s household. We will contact you by phone if you are offered an interview.
Please direct all phone calls and questions regarding your application to BC Housing Applicant Services at 604-433-2218, or toll free at 1-800-257-7756.
