Reported Screening Details

Reported screening status	Contact property to verify
Reported policy summary	SHA's applicant page offers two-, three- and four-bedroom family housing at East Side Acres. Its project page describes nine two-story buildings, a community building and playground across Emery, Bowdoin and Bates streets in Sanford, built in 1968. That page calls it 49 multifamily public-housing apartments and also labels its program “Project Base Voucher & HCV”; SHA's 2026 snow-management scope instead calls the same nine-building site 48 units. Both counts are source claims, not available-unit counts; confirm the current total with SHA rather than quietly choosing one. The 2024 universal application defines East Side Acres family eligibility as a minor child in the home or a pregnant woman. This is one unpinned development group, not a single residence at SHA's administrative office or at a dated event venue address. SHA's https://sanfordhousing.org/applicants/ provides a downloadable SHA property application https://sanfordhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/SHA-universal-application_Nov2024.pdf for these five named developments and says applicants may also call the office. Its https://sanfordhousing.org/about-us/ says the waiting list is open for all complexes but that there is a wait; this establishes application intake, not vacant units or an offer to select a particular apartment. The 2024 form asks whether anyone in the household has ever been convicted of a felony and asks about other history; the question is not an automatic denial rule or proof of conviction-specific acceptance. Confirm the current application procedure, income/occupancy rules, rent and written screening criteria with SHA at 207-324-6747. The 17 School Street Sanford office is not a dwelling address. The separately linked Section 8 pre-application is for tenant-based vouchers, not these SHA-managed residences.
