Go to the public housing authority page for this waiting list >>
The housing authority has three public housing communities – Whitfield Homes, Forrest Road Homes and EB Jordan Homes – and applicants can apply for all three communities on the same application.
To qualify for public housing, applicants must meet federal income eligibility guidelines and other federal eligibility regulations. Applicants will also need to be able to provide copies of a photo identification for any member of a household over the age of 18, a social security card for all household members and a birth certificate for all household members.
Applications will be considered in the order in which they are returned. Applications that are received from veterans will receive a preference in where they are placed on the waiting list. Households who are currently experiencing homelessness and victims of domestic violence who are currently in a shelter will also receive a preference if the application is accompanied by a signed preference letter.
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 Whitfield Homes 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.
