Neighborhood Housing is not accepting Online Applications at this time

Applying for Affordable Housing is always free. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), who funds the program, does not allow any agency to charge a family to apply. Beware of websites that charge a fee to apply for the housing program. These websites are not affiliated with the Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency (MDHA) or the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The only way to apply for MDHA housing is through MDHA’s official website.

Neighborhood Housing will be accepting online applications starting at Noon CST on February 18, 2021 and ending at 3PM CST on February 22, 2021.  During this online application process, you will receive a total of three (3) automatic emails. The third and final email will include the words "Online Application Completed Confirmation" in the email's subject line and a copy of your application form will be attached and include your prospect code along with your application date and time. Please retain this information for your records! If you do not receive your third and final email within an hour, chances are you did not complete your online application and you will need to log back on in order to complete your online application.

User Name Instructions

A User Name is a unique name that you define on your online application for this property. The User Name will automatically default to your email address. It should be changed to a new unique User Name if you are entering multiple online applications for many individuals, or if you plan to apply for other MDHA properties. Here are some User Name examples:

• User Name Example 1:

I’m an individual and I want to be on the Neighborhood Housingwaiting list. I can use my email address for my User Name, but I can also define my User Name to be a unique name that I can use exclusively for this property. Example: My name is Jane Doe and I’m applying for the Neighborhood Housing waiting list. So, I’ve decided to make my User Name be jdoeNH21. This unique User Name will always be associated with my Neighborhood Housing Waiting List online application that I created on 2/18/2021.

• User Name Example 2:

I’m a social worker and I’m entering many online applications for my clients who do not have an email address or access to a computer. I can enter my email address for each online application, but I must create a unique User Name for each online application that I enter. Refer to the previous example if your client plans to apply at other MDHA properties.
