What do you mean "preference"?

We give preference to those who live or work in Flagstaff. Your residency preference status on the Waiting List is based on whether your primary residence is in Flagstaff, an adult household member works or is self-employed at least 20 hours a week in Flagstaff, or an adult household member has an offer of work in Flagstaff. If this changes for you it will change your position on the Waiting List. If you are experiencing homelessness, you are encouraged to report that in your application or in an update.

If your situation changes, please update your information through the Portal at https://apply.havenconnect.com/login. Your preference status can change while you’re on the waiting list.
