Help when should I start packing or already organizing what I want to keep or toss ?

I applied for public housing in a high-rise designed for individuals with disabilities about a year ago. Recently, I received a letter informing me that I am nearing the top of the list for housing, which is exciting! However, they requested that I update my file. This includes a letter or email from my current landlord confirming how long I have lived here and that I have consistently paid my rent on time, which I have. They also require proof of my EBT cash benefits and SSI, to ensure that my information is current and accurate.

The letter mentions that they will contact me when it is time to move and advises me not to give my landlord a 30-day notice until I receive a call from public housing. All required forms must be completed by the 30th; otherwise, my name will be removed from the waiting list.

So, my question is: How much longer might this process take? When should I begin cleaning out my apartment and organizing my belongings? This is my first experience with public housing, and I'm uncertain about the steps involved. Thank you!

I agree with Donald B. You don’t necessarily have to start packing now, but use this time to have a good clear out to get rid of things you no longer want or need. When the time does come to pack, it will be so much easier. Plus you will find it easier to box things up as you will know what you have and where it needs to go. You might end up clearing out more things as you pack as you will have had time to consider all those items you aren’t sure you want to get rid of or keep.

Start throwing stuff away now. It take longer than you think to move.

It can be longer because not only do you have verify your qualification, they need to find a place for you. And anything dealing with the government moves at a snails pace. So hold off on the packing until after you receive notice its time to give your present landlord a 30 day notice.
