Reported policy summary	Downing Way — Salem Housing Authority LIHTC in Salem, New Hampshire. The separate 24-unit Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) development; these 24 units are NOT part of SHA's stated 158 public-housing units. SHA says ALL household members must be at least 62 years old and qualify within Downing Way's income limits; it asks applicants to call for the current LIHTC limits. Its image gallery does not publish a numbered residence, bedroom mix, rent or vacancy. The homepage's mailed application-request form specifically says Public Housing, so confirm a separate Downing Way intake route by phone. https://salemhousing.com/ describes exactly THREE public-housing sites totaling 158 units, plus 24 separately managed Downing Way LIHTC units. The four linked pages are mainly photo galleries, with a shared 70 Telfer Circle agency-office footer and no property-specific numbered residential addresses or public-housing unit splits. The old https://salemha.org/public-housing explicitly describes MASSACHUSETTS state public housing at 27 Charter Street and 3 Broad Street; those were erroneously classified as Salem, New Hampshire leads, not SHA-NH properties. Reviewed September 29, 2026. https://salemhousing.com/ displays low-income PUBLIC HOUSING limits without an effective date: one person $54,900; two $62,750; three $70,600; four $78,400. Contact SHA about larger families and current figures. Public-housing eligibility requires a head or co-head age 62+ OR disabled, plus income eligibility; the distinct 24-unit Downing Way LIHTC rule requires EVERY household member age 62+ and separate income limits provided by phone. Do not apply the public-housing income chart to Downing Way. https://salemhousing.com/ says there is NO application fee and non-Salem residents can apply. The homepage form requests a Public Housing application package for elderly/disabled households, sent by U.S. mail; it does not establish an online submission, Downing Way application path, open waiting list, immediate vacancy, or an applicant's acceptance. The FAQ says there GENERALLY is a waiting list depending on program and asks applicants to contact staff for an estimated wait. Call 603-893-6417 (sha@salemhousing.com) to confirm the specific list and current rules. SHA says it does NOT operate Section 8/Housing Choice Vouchers; for those contact New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority at 603-472-8623. For a housing emergency it refers callers to Town of Salem Human Services at 603-890-2130. https://salemhousing.com/ does not publish a criminal-history screening standard or a guarantee for applicants with convictions; ask for current written program-specific rules. Pets are allowed with restrictions, smoking is prohibited inside SHA buildings and within 25 feet of a building, and the agency does not directly provide meals, transportation or personal care. Contact the property about reasonable accommodations and other rules. Official property gallery https://salemhousing.com/downing.html. Unverified: no current vacancy, open program list or individual screening outcome is established.
