Once you have a queue number, you can apply for a right-of-occupancy dwelling. Get acquainted with the companies or associations owning right-of-occupancy dwellings and submit an application directly on the companies’ websites. 

The companies or associations owning right-of-occupancy dwellings grant right-of-occupancy dwellings to applicants and confirm the right-of-occupancy fees to be refunded.
