It it was very pleasant

There was only one customer service cubicle open. You have to wait in line, just to get a ticket to wait. The woman in charge of giving out tickets, abruptly jumped up, and went to lunch without any notice to customers waiting in line for a ticket. Customers started saying. "they do whatever they want here" It wasn't crowded, about a good 8 people, but that ticket lady had a serious attitude.

Do anyone knows if PHA are letting people in the building right now am trying to put a request in to move ? Also I heard that there not letting people move right now is that true , bad what’s there number ??? Anyone , can someone help me ?? T /Y

Shanelle Freeman | Oct 2, 2021
Aleessha Isgone | Oct 2, 2021

They are letting people in. It's usually a PHA officer at the front desk. But everything has to be submitted through paperwork to even speak to someone who can help you. Whether it's an appointment, a request to move, inspection, anything. All the documents are available there as soon as you walk in so you can fill them out turn them in same day. They are allowing people to move it just can't be before your lease is up. But if it's a safety or a repairs issue you can leave early as long as your unit doesn't pass the PHA inspection. Hope that helps

Go down there and ask if they have any housing application. Some people don't like going into a shelter, but helps also

YahNé Ndgo | Oct 2, 2020

They don't want to hear from folk. They just want to get paid with taxpayer money to go on vacation and retire with insurance no one else is entitled to.

I was on the waiting list for over 15 years, all they did was update my Information every year, and still no housing help!

Jacqueline Stehly | Oct 2, 2020
Adrian Haggins | Oct 2, 2020

That's because they are placing friends and family first housing authority employees

How old you have to be to apply ?

Tasha Tasha | Oct 2, 2020
Angela Lynn Rain | Oct 2, 2020

You have to be 21, have a valid ID, Social Security card and Birth Certificate, go into the main office and fill out an application.

how come I went in about 2 months ago for emergency housing , due to domestica violence and they said they do not help with that. my cousin went the end of last month and they set her up with a house.... why do they help who that want to.

Erny Pearson | Oct 2, 2020
Angela Lynn Rain | Oct 2, 2020

Based off the situations we never have emergency housing unless ur in a shelter and u had a referral to be housed through a state official. PHA doesn't discriminate, they help everyone... there is no way that someone is just housed due to a domestic situation so someone isnt giving you the correct Information. That's not how the system works. I'm sorry you were misinformed and I am not speaking for the whole company I am speaking with you from my personal knowledge
