To be eligible for HOC housing assistance and to rent at an HOC property, individuals and families must create an account in the Housing Path Portal and complete a Housing Path Wait List application(s).
When an individual or family application has been approved, HOC staff will contact the applicant to begin the process of locating a home.
The Housing Path Portal is fully-electronic and available online 24/7. Applications to the wait list must be submitted through the HOCHousingPath.com website through any Internet connected computer, smart phone, or tablet device. If an individual does not have access to a computer or the Internet, public computers are available for free at HOC office locations and in Montgomery County Public Libraries.
