Once the pre-application has been completed, it can be mailed or hand delivered to the address listed above, from 7:30 am until 4:00 pm, Monday-Friday.
Please note: Until your application has been approved, you must call the office weekly to keep your application active. After your application has been approved for the waiting list, you must call the office monthly to keep it active.
Be sure to include these documents with the pre-application: Social Security Cards and birth certificates for all household members, rental references, proof of all income, proof of any assets, divorce decree (if applicable), child support statements (if applicable), marriage license (if applicable), if in a relationship must bring documentation in a relationship for two years.

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 your pre-application with the housing authority.
If any of your application information changes from the time you submitted the original pre-application (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 In the case that the office sends a notice that does not get returned, or if application information is out of date, your name may be terminated from the waiting list. Please contact the housing authority to find out its policy on updating pre-application information.
