Housing authority waiting list status: facts read from public pages

Whether the Dover Housing Authority and Delaware State Housing Authority pages say their public housing or Housing Choice Voucher waiting lists are open or closed, read once a day, with the date and page, and every change found between readings.

You can share this data.

Only the Delaware State Housing Authority's waitlist status is shared: whether its Housing Choice Voucher list is open, and when that changed. The Dover Housing Authority's terms forbid republishing its content, so its rows are left out. Please credit it with the line below.
