The Housing Authority of the Town of West Hartford (WHHA) will be accepting pre-applications for three West Hartford apartments in the Project Based Voucher (Section 8) Program now through July 5.

Applicants must be eligible by household size for an efficiency unit (0 bedroom) or one-bedroom unit and meet the income and other eligibility guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Elm Grove and Alfred E. Plant apartments have additional eligibility requirements in that the applicant or other adult household member must be at least 55 years of age or older, and household members under the age of 18 may not be part of an application.

The PBV Program is a federally funded program, which provides units with rental subsidies to eligible households. Applicants must meet all U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and WHHA income and eligibility guidelines.
