Admissions

The SHA owns and operates over 2,300 units of conventional public housing units in 27 developments throughout the city ranging from high-rise apartments to single family homes. The SHA also administers the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, which provides rent vouchers for over 2,400 units of housing in the private market.

Applications for Conventional Public Housing may be obtained and returned at the SHA's Application Office located at 35A Saab Court. Alternatively, you may download the application from this web site but you must return the original application to the office. Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program applications may be downloaded from this site or obtained in person at the SHA's Application Office as well. However, completed applications must be returned to the Rental Assistance Office located at 67 Sanderson Street.

Once an application has been completed, it will be date and time stamped for placement on the waiting list. Applicants for the Conventional Public Housing program will receive a notice of their placement on the waiting list according to the time and date of their application, the size unit for which they qualify (Conventional Public Housing only), and any preferences and/or priorities for which they may qualify.

The SHA may, from time to time, open or close waitlists if it finds that an applicant for a particular program cannot be expected to be housed in a reasonable length of time
