Due to the long length of our waiting list, the PHA made the difficult decision to close the public housing waiting list on October 1, 2020. There are no current plans to reopen the list.
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.
