Waiting List

Effective Sunday, August 1st at 12:01am the Providence Housing Authority opened its public housing waiting list for studios (zero bedroom units) for elderly and near elderly applicants ages 58 and older only. Click here to apply
Studio apartments are for single person households only. Any applications from households with more than one person or from households with a person younger than 58 years old will not be accepted.
The PHA will be accepting applications online only at www.waitlistcheck.com/RI1104. Anyone with questions or requesting a reasonable accommodation may email waitlist@provhousing.org or call 401-751-6400.
All other public housing waitlists remain closed at this time.

Beginning in March of 2020, all applications to PHA Public Housing must be made online. When the wait list is open, applications that are faxed, mailed, emailed or hand-delivered are no longer accepted. During times when the PHA Public Housing is accepting applications, those requiring a reasonable accommodation for the application process would contact the PHA at 401-751-6400 or via email at waitlist@ProvHousing.org.

Upon submission of an application, applicants are informed of their approximate waiting period.  Throughout the waiting period, we ask that you provide updates to your contact information, as needed, by emailing waitlist@ProvHousing.org.
