Unable to apply closed waiting list

I haven’t been able to even apply because the Section 8 waiting list is closed in my county and has been since I moved here in 1/2017. I’m disabled and on SSDI I have never been able to get on the list because it’s closed and they won’t even give you an application. When you call you are told the list is closed and not taking new applications. It opened once that I’m aware of but I only found out about that afterwards through my property manager from 211 who told her too late. So what can someone like me do? Onslow County Jacksonville NC
