Public Housing Communities

Public Housing was established to provide safe, decent and affordable rental housing for eligible low to moderate-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Public housing comes in all sizes and types, scattered from single family houses to high rise apartments. There are approximately 1.3 million households living in public housing units, managed by 3,300 Housing Authorities nationwide. For more information on public housing please visit HUD’s website at www.HUD.gov.

How to Qualify?

You must meet certain income limits to qualify for public housing.  You must also comply with HUD rules and regulations. The first step is to complete and submit an application along with all applicable supporting documentation to the public housing development or developments you desire.  You can pick up a printed application from one of our development offices or complete your application online by clicking on the link provided below.  Once received, your application will be reviewed to determine whether all of the required information has been provided.  If you are deemed eligible you will be placed on a Waiting List based on the time and date of your application.  Keep in mind that each development has a separate Waiting List and therefore you may be housed more expeditiously if you’re on multiple lists.
