Other Programs
5 programsThese programs are administered by this housing authority but do not have active waitlist openings at this time. Statuses are verified nightly and subscribers will be notified when changes are detected.
Last open for three days in November 2018; 500 applicants were placed on the waiting list by random lottery with no preferences.
Mainstream eligibility is typically handled through the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) waiting list, which is currently closed.
Project-Based Vouchers are tied to specific housing units rather than following the tenant. Landlords or developers partner with the housing authority to reserve units for eligible low-income families. Unlike tenant-based HCV vouchers, PBV assistance stays with the unit if the tenant moves.
The waiting list is presently closed for housing for the elderly and/or disabled; applicants must be at least 62 years of age or Social Security disabled.
No specific waiting list information found for the RAD program.

Mainstream Mainstream Voucher closed
Mainstream Vouchers at South Windsor Housing Authority are specifically designated for non-elderly individuals with disabilities. These vouchers work like standard HCVs but are reserved for this population and often have separate, shorter waitlists.

Unlike the standard Housing Choice Voucher, PBV assistance stays with the property — not with you. However, after one year of occupancy, you may request a standard portable voucher.
