The District’s public housing agency is planning to close its waiting list for the first time next week, and it is encouraging needy families to sign up before the list is suspended indefinitely.
The closure of the list, which stretches to more than 70,000 names, has been contemplated for months as officials acknowledge that demand for public housing units and rental vouchers far outstrips the city’s supply.
