HAPP distributes and accepts applications only while the waiting list is open.
The Waiting List usually only opens every few years, due to the amount of applications received. Once the Waiting List is open an announcement will be made via our website, and the Johnston County website with instructions on how to apply.
You must complete the following when completing the application:
1. List ALL sources of income for each family member, including-but not limited to: social security income, wages, child support, pensions, self employment income, etc.
2. Provide COPIES of all birth certificates and social security cards for each family member. DO NOT SEND ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS!
3. MAIL applications and supporting documents to:
Johnston County HAPP PO Box 1515 Smithfield, NC 27577
Incomplete applications will not be accepted and will be returned with a request to complete the missing information and resubmit, or to provide the necessary documents.
Please promptly contact our office IN WRITING to report any address, telephone, or email address changes. The waiting list is purged annually for any applications on the waiting list who do not respond to update requests, or whose correspondence is returned as not deliverable by the post office.
