| Reported policy summary | Thomas B. O’Malley Apartments — MHRA public-housing development in Manchester, New Hampshire. Location: 259 Chestnut Street. Linked MHRA public-housing development page identifies the community and street address but does not provide a unit count, bedroom mix, numeric age restriction, current opening or rent quote. MHRA's https://manchesterhousing.org/public-housing/ links these EIGHT major public-housing development pages, not every one of MHRA's properties. Its separate https://manchesterhousing.org/other-mhra-properties/ lists other/LIHTC housing, not extra rows in this public-housing directory. The https://manchesterhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/MHRA-Applicant-Handbook-04.30.24_nonbooklet.pdf says MHRA is the public-housing landlord and residents generally pay 30% of income for rent and utilities; it does not quote a property-specific asking rent or establish a vacant unit. The agency's main intake office 198 Hanover Street and property management zone offices are not additional residences. Reviewed September 29, 2026. MHRA's current https://manchesterhousing.org/apply-for-assistance/ offers an online application https://www.pha-web.com/portals/onlineApplication/1895, an Applicant Portal, and a printable April 2024 application https://manchesterhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/PDF-Application_April-5-2024_Printable-on-Letter-Size-Paper.pdf to sign and mail or drop at 198 Hanover Street, Manchester NH 03104-6125 (603-624-2100). Online applicants must apply separately to EACH applicable program waiting list, save the control number/registration code, and should not duplicate a list they are already on. The public-housing FAQ https://manchesterhousing.org/public-housing/ separately says public-housing unit offers are made throughout the city, with NO development-specific public-housing waiting lists; one may select separate program lists without choosing Kelley Falls or another specific building. The FAQ describes preliminary screening, an approximate waiting-time letter, later final eligibility interview and an offer only when a unit becomes available. MHRA says there is no emergency housing. An office visit for help should be scheduled by phone. The https://manchesterhousing.org/apply-for-assistance/ public-housing table shows elderly/disabled one-bedroom estimated wait 2½–3 years AS OF MAY 4, 2026; two-bedroom and accessible units say “Upon Availability.” Its family table (no separate as-of date shown) says one-, four- and five-bedroom “Upon Availability,” two-bedroom 4–5 years, three-bedroom 3½–4 years. “Upon Availability” is not an open apartment or a guaranteed immediate placement. Actual waits vary; MHRA does not maintain site-specific public-housing queues. The same application page labels its 80%-AMI income limits effective May 1, 2025: households of 1–10 respectively $70,350 / $80,400 / $90,450 / $100,500 / $108,550 / $116,600 / $124,650 / $132,700 / $140,700 / $148,750; these are historical program-page limits, not a current property rent or automatic eligibility decision. Confirm the latest table with MHRA. The public-housing FAQ https://manchesterhousing.org/public-housing/ says unpaid amounts from prior federal assistance must be settled before waiting-list placement and describes stated lifetime sex-offender-registration and methamphetamine-manufacture exclusions. It also says drug/alcohol-related or violent criminal activity that may threaten others CAN be grounds for disqualification, not that every conviction is automatically disqualifying. The https://manchesterhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/MHRA-Applicant-Handbook-04.30.24_nonbooklet.pdf, revised April 30, 2024, says MHRA checks criminal background for household members aged 17 or older, may check public-housing landlord references, verifies income/identity/preferences at final eligibility, and offers a written denial and informal review request within 14 days. These general MHRA policies are not an approval of a specific applicant; ask for current written program rules. MHRA says it provides reasonable accommodations and language assistance at 603-624-2100. No directory unit total is a vacancy; no listing promises criminal-record approval.
