Programs » Housing The Housing Authority provides subsidized housing for low-income persons who are elderly (62 years of age and older) or near elderly (persons 50-61 years of age and older) and adults with disabilities. View our properties that offer these types of housing on the Senior Housing page and Adult Disabled Housing pages. ApplyApplications for this housing program are accepted on a continual basis. Visit waitlist.hacm.org for more information and to pre-apply for the waiting list. Income RestrictionsHousehold income cannot exceed limits established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development:
*Flat rent and maximum income limits are subject to change. The majority of our apartments are one-bedroom apartments; however, a few two-bedroom units are occasionally available for those households requiring a second bedroom. Update Your Waiting List InformationIf you are on the waiting list and would like to update your information, please contact our Housing Intake Office at (414) 286-5678. Designated Housing Plan and PreferenceHACM has a HUD-approved designated housing plan in effect at this time. A designated housing plan allows us to designate some of our locations for elderly occupancy and some locations for mixed occupancy of elderly and adults with disabilities. Applications received are all date and time stamped. Preference (or priority) on the list is given in this order: 1) elderly and persons with disabilities (equal preference); and 2) the near elderly (50-61 years of age). Because the buildings were originally built for the elderly, no minor children are allowed to live in them. If you have minor children, or anticipate having minor children live with you, our family waiting (general occupancy) list is closed at this time. In addition, these buildings are specifically designated for elderly, disabled and near elderly individuals only. Individuals under the age of 50 who aren’t disabled (also known as “singles”) are not eligible to live in these buildings. “Single” individuals may apply for our family (general occupancy) housing program when that waiting list is open. Our family (general occupancy) waiting list is closed at this time. Visit the Housing page for information about additional housing options. RentRent is generally based on 30% of your income. A security deposit equal to one month’s rent or $150 (whichever is greater) and the first month’s rent is required at the time of leasing. Approval ProcessFor applicants who meet the income criteria, a credit report, criminal history and three-year rental history (landlord references) will be obtained and verified, and your household income and assets will be verified to determine if your application will be accepted. Applicants who do not meet our selection criteria will not be approved for housing. Waiting TimeThe amount of time you will be on the waiting list depends on: 1) date and time you applied for housing, 2) your preference on the list, and 3) anticipated unit availability. Due to these variables, it is difficult to make estimates regarding individual wait times. Apartments and AmenitiesAll apartments include utilities, a stove and refrigerator. All buildings have card-accessed secured lobbies. We have 24 hour emergency maintenance and security staff to respond to emergency situations. A small pet (dog or cat up to 30 pounds) is also welcome (security deposit required). We offer a number of social service, recreational and employment assistance opportunities. Reasonable AccommodationUpon reasonable notice, efforts will be made to accommodate the needs of disabled individuals through sign language interpreters or other auxiliary aids.
