Reading Housing Authority (RHA) will open the Public Housing Waiting List on Monday, July 19, 2021 for the following categories only: 0-BR apartments for 1-person families and 1-BR apartments for 2-person families who are elderly (age 62+) or who have a disability (18+), located in Rhodes, Eisenhower & Hubert Apartments, Kennedy & Franklin Towers and Hensler Homes.
Applicant families must qualify for the bedroom size (0-BR and 1-BR) based upon an occupancy standard of 1-bedroom per 2-persons, with limited exceptions. (Applications that do not comply with these standards may prevent the application from being considered.)
RHA utilizes a 1-offer policy, which means that eligible individuals are not able to select a particular development but will be offered the first unit for which they meet the criteria.
Beginning July 19, APPLICANTS MAY APPLY ONLINE at www.readingha.org. Electronic applications will not be accepted after midnight, Friday, July 23, 2021. Preferences will be given to individuals and families who live in the City of Reading and to families of which a household member is a service member or veteran who meets the standards set in accordance with PA Law P.L. 2903, No. 188.
RHA reserves the right to apply a lottery-based selection process for applications if the number of applications received exceeds more than 12 months of predicted unit availability; therefore, all applicants may not be placed upon a waiting list. Applicants must qualify according to the RHA Admissions & Continued Occupancy Policy.
