Public Housing Programs How does the Public Housing Program work? Application: Once your pre-application is completed and signed by you, it is dated and time stamped received, processed and placed on the waiting list. Waiting List: Pre-applications are then placed on the waiting list according to date and time of the receipt of the completed application. Incomplete applications will be returned to the applicant for completion prior to processing. When your pre-application reaches the top of the waiting list you will be notified by mail of the needed information to complete the application process. Once all information is provided and the screening process is complete, you will be offered housing provided all requirements are met. The length of the waiting period will vary according to the availability of units. Occupying the Unit:
One Year Lease Required: The lease is for one year. The resident may terminate the lease with a thirty (30) day written notice to the Housing Authority. The Housing Authority may terminate the lease with a fourteen (14) day written notice for non-payment of rent, thirty (30) day written notice for repeated violations of the lease agreement and/or rules of occupancy, and a three (3) day written notice for drugs and other criminal activity. Rental Payments: Residents make payment for rent and any other charges to the Housing Authority of Salt Lake City. Rent is due and payable the first day of each month. A late fee will be charged for delinquent payments. What are my Responsibilities as a Resident in Public Housing?
Family Public Housing The
Housing Authority of Salt Lake City owns and operates conventional
Public Housing for families, the elderly and people with disabilities.
Public Housing is subsidized by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) and serves those at or below 80% of the area median
income. Potential program participants are not only screened for income
eligibility but also for housekeeping practices, previous landlord
references, credit references and criminal background check. The
program participant will pay 30% of income for rent.
We
have family units scattered throughout the City. The use of scattered
public housing sites promotes the philosophy of mixed-income
neighborhoods. This benefits the community by avoiding the well-known
problems and pitfalls of large concentrated public housing "projects".
Scattered sites also meet the needs of our residents for safe, decent
and affordable housing. Maintenance Request |
