Many factors will be reviewed to determine your eligibility for housing. The application process begins with the Personal Declaration for Application you can download from this web site or pick up and complete at the central office. A personal interview is conducted to identify your housing needs and answer any questions you may have. The Housing Authority secures your credit report, requests your rental history from your current and former landlords, and a state criminal background is requested from Frankfort. Character references are also checked. Once this information is received, household income will be verified and a decision regarding eligibility can be made. You can assist our staff during the application process by: *Ensuring all information on the application is filled out HONESTLY, COMPLETELY and ACCURATELY.*Providing any requested documents that will be necessary to process your application (birth or marriage certificates, adoption papers or other identification). *Keeping your mailing address and telephone number current. If this information changes during the application process, please call the central office to update it. *Responding promptly to any requests for information you receive from the Housing Authority promptly.

Determining your eligibility for housing will take an average of three to four weeks. The Housing Authority will notify you of any decision regarding your eligibility by first class mail. Information cannot be given to you over the telephone regarding the status of a pending application for housing. Changes to your application can be reported by phone.

Once you have been determined eligible, the occupancy specialist will work with you to get you into a new home as soon as possible. Applicants may request a specific housing site; sometimes there may not be a vacant apartment to move into right away. If not you will be placed on a waiting list until an apartment becomes vacant. The occupancy specialist will contact you and talk with you about a tentative move-in date.

While running a routine background check, it was detected through the NCIC system that there could be a possibility of a previous arrest on record, which must be verified. A record needs to be obtained to make a legal determination whether or not to extend a lease to an applicant.
