Waitlist Information
Waitlist managed by Harrisburg Housing Authority
The waiting list is open for individuals 50 years or older or those with a permanent disability, and also maintains a family community-wide waiting list with preferences for involuntary displacement, domestic violence, homelessness, working families, age/disability, veterans, and local residents.
