To Apply for Public Housing with the Summit Housing Authority 

Please review the information on this site, then stop by the office to complete an application.

A completed application must include the following:

  1. Whether you are applying for Family or Senior Housing
  2. The size of the unit you are requesting
  3. The names and ages of all family members to reside in the unit
  4. A complete listing of total family income
  5. A current address for the applicant
Please be advised that all public housing authorities are required to maintain waitlists. The wait for a SHA unit ranges from 1.5 years for a senior unit, to 5-10 years for a family unit.   Because our occupancy rate averages between 98% and 97%, the Summit Housing  Authority is not capable of providing emergency housing  for families in crises.  Those families interested in applying for housing with the SHA must be prepared to wait a time until their name rises to the top of the waitlist.
