Since this property may have HUD-funded Public Housing with subsidies that help pay tenants' rent, the property is likely to have a long waiting list. Housing authorities often open these waiting lists periodically. Important: Housing authorities don't always open housing waiting lists at a property-specific level or even allow applicants to choose at which property they can live. Many times, the housing authority will assign an applicant to a property without giving the applicant a choice.
Note: Affordable Housing Online has not confirmed the waiting list status directly with the property. This waiting list status forecast is based on our housing experts' knowledge of similar properties. You should always confirm this status directly with the property.
Walnut Towers is a two building high-rise apartment complex with elevator service to all floors. The eight-story “A” Building has 102 apartments, while the three-story “B” Building contains 48 apartments. These buildings are designed to provide secure and accessible housing for elderly and disabled residents. Applications are also accepted from near-elderly persons at least fifty years of age.
The buildings contain seventy-five efficiency units and seventy-five one-bedroom units.
Amenities include on-site laundromat facilities, resident community room, shuffle board playing area and off-street parking. Entrance doors are secured by a keycard access system. An intercom system is available to residents as well as a camera feed, which displays the front foyer area and can be monitored from each apartment, providing peace of mind. Resident programs include a noon nutritional meal, game nights, bingo nights, and more.
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 Walnut Towers 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.

Applying for housing with bad credit.
Most HUD housing programs, like Section 8 and Public Housing, do not have a credit check. But Section 8 landlords will likely require one for an available unit.Mary Estrada says:
