1-Bedroom Waiting List
The Decatur Housing Authority (DHA) waiting list for 1-Bedroom Elderly (50+)/Disabled Public Housing apartments at Concord Highrise, Lexington Highrise, and Hartford Highrise is currently open. Applications are being accepted since at least September, 2019, until further notice.
To apply, complete the online pre-application here.
Preferences have not yet been confirmed. The DHA pre-application states "Decatur Housing Authority ulitizies a local preference." But the specific preference, or preferences have not been confirmed. HUD's official term for any preference is called a "local preference." It's possible that this preference is for persons who reside and/or work in Macon County, since that is a question on the application.
For more information, visit the DHA Public Housing page, or the DHA website.

Lexington Highrise has 1-bedroom apartments for Seniors (50+) and non-senior persons with disabilities. This property is owned and operated by the Decatur Housing Authority. You must apply through the Decatur Housing Authority's waiting list below to rent a unit at this property.
This property is funded through HUD’s Public Housing program. These properties are typically owned and managed by a Public Housing Authority. These properties tend to be much older, as no new public housing has been built in many years. Since the Federal budget has historically (and notoriously) underfunded public housing renovations for decades, these properties tend to have higher vacancies due to uninhabitable units or liveable units that are in poor condition. In addition, since all public housing properties offer rent subsidies, low-income residents only pay rent based on their incomes. For that reason, these properties tend to have longer waiting lists. Check our public housing waiting list data for more information. Since Lexington Highrise participates in the Public Housing program and has a property based subsidy, if you have a Section 8 voucher, you would have to give up your voucher to move in.
