You may apply for conventional public housing or Housing Choice. (Please note that the waiting list for Housing Choice is currently closed).
Conventional public housing and Housing Choice are two separate programs requiring separate applications, but both are located at the same office -- 712 North 16th Street. Operating hours are between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Conventional public housing is a term given to groups of buildings located at one site. Housing Choice is a program where applicants find apartments or houses owned by private landlords willing to rent under the program. PHA pays directly for part of the rent, based on federal regulations.
Your name will be placed on the waiting list based on the date and time of application. When your name appears at the top of the waiting list, the screening unit will review your application.
All applicants must successfully complete the screening process in order to be placed in a PHA unit. During the application process, you may check on the status of your application by calling (215) 684-4453. Hearing Impaired: 711 or TTY-800-654-5984.
