Riverside Center / John C. Murphy Building: housing details

AMP6 site-based public housing group. The 2021 policy describes where site-based public housing lists are organized; it does not advertise vacancies. The authority's current public housing status page says the waiting list is closed, with no reopening date. These sources do not establish how an individual conviction will be screened.

Location or historic site ranges

  • John C. Murphy Building: 311 North Ottawa Street, Joliet, IL 60432

The 2021 site-based policy identifies the John C. Murphy Building at 311 North Ottawa Street as the named Riverside Center location within AMP6. It also places several separate street ranges under AMP6; those are shown on the distinct Quads & Mods record, not at this building's address.

The current public housing property directory no longer shows Riverside Center as a separate property entry. Its building address appears in the policy and an older authority staff directory. Ask the authority to confirm present use and where AMP6 inquiries should go; this is not evidence of an independent open list.

Housing authority contact

Listed property contact: 815-727-0615

Main office: 815-727-0611. Its 6 S Broadway Street address is an administrative office, not this rental site.

Application policy versus today

The old policy describes separate site lists, verified admission preferences, date/time order for tied preferences, and one offer of an appropriately sized unit to the next qualified applicant. These rules do not override the current closed-list notice; ask the authority for its latest instructions if a list reopens.
