Lottery · how homes are awarded
The lottery rewards local public service.
When demand exceeds supply, QWHIP homes are awarded by lottery. More entries mean better odds, and the program gives the most entries to local public service.

The lottery · what to expect
How the lottery runs.
Only when demand exceeds supply
If there are fewer eligible households than homes, there is no lottery. Everyone eligible moves forward.
Eligibility is confirmed first
Only applications that meet the program criteria enter the lottery. Your tier is set by the answers you give in the application.
Everyone hears the result
Teton Valley Housing runs the lottery when a home is ready and emails every applicant the outcome, selected or not.
