Public Housing Waiting List

As of July 2017, the Little River County Housing Authority (LRCHA) is currently accepting Public Housing waiting list pre-applications for families and senior/disabled households.

There are two ways to apply:

1. Visit one of the following offices to pick up a pre-application: 215 North Madden Street, Foreman, AR 71836; or 251 Federal Street, Ashdown, AR 71822, from 8:00 am until 4:30 pm CT, Monday-Friday.
2. Request to have a pre-application mailed to you by calling (870) 542-6464 (Foreman) or (870) 898-2107 (Ashdown), from 8:00 am until 4:30 pm, Monday-Friday.

Once the pre-application has been completed, it can be mailed or hand delivered to the address listed above.

Be sure to include these documents with the pre-application: Social Security Cards and birth certificates for all household members, proof of all income, and photo IDs for all adult household members.

The LRCHA does have a preference for: Applicants that live and/or work in Little River County, near elderly, elderly, disabled, emergency, victims of domestic violence, single families, and unassisted applicants.

Important note: Applicants will receive a confirmation number when either applying, or being placed on the waiting list, depending on housing authority policy. It is important to keep that number in a safe, easy to access place. It will be needed any time when referencing the pre-application with the housing authority.

If any application information changes from the time the original was submitted (such as contact information, income, and household members), inform the housing authority immediately. In the case that the office sends a notice that does not get returned, or if application information is out of date, the applicant's name may be terminated from the waiting list. Please contact the housing authority to find out its policy on updating pre-application information.

Applicants who need help completing the application due to disability can make a reasonable accommodation request to the housing authority via (870)542-6464.
