Applications are not considered accepted until all questions have been completed, all
signatures obtained, and all appropriate documentation received.
In addition, applicants may receive an application by mail and may submit an application

Applicants are required to contact the HACPFC administration office once every 6
months in order to keep their application active. This must be done in writing in
person or by U.S. Mail, e-mail, or fax. Applications with no record of contact during
the past 6 months may be dropped from the wait list without further notice.
