Contact details as published by HUD. Phone numbers change — if one is wrong, tell us and we will check it.
Waiting list closed?
That is common, and it is not the end of the road. You can apply to any housing authority whose list is open, not only the one where you live now — and the HUD-assisted properties above keep their own separate waiting lists.
