Waitlist Forecast

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.

Scattered Sites is comprised of twenty-five duplex apartments. It was developed in 1962 and is the first community in Durham designed to accommodate elderly residents. Located in East Durham, Scattered Sites is comprised of 50 housing units.

We are currently accepting applications for our waiting list. Completed applications for our Scattered Sites must be returned to JJ Henderson (807 S. Duke Street Durham, North Carolina 27701) for processing. Due to the nature of our application process, we require that you call with application questions and/or submit completed applications on the following day:

Tuesdays 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Dave's Thoughts On Scattered Sites

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 Scattered Sites 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.
