Reported Screening Details

Reported screening status	Contact property to verify
Reported policy summary	SPHA lists Betsy Ross House as 123 one-bedroom homes for people age 62+ with affordable and market-rate units, plus project-based-voucher units on the newer roster. The housing and property pages say 99 Preble Street Ext., but its effective-2026 pre-application says 99 Preble Street; this street-suffix conflict needs confirmation before pinning. The property page describes independent living, a noon three-course meal, salon, library and access to Spring Point Lighthouse, Bug Light Park and the Greenbelt. The 2026 packet lists $700–$1,125 rent for its affordable option, utilities included, vouchers accepted and an optional meal plan for an additional monthly fee; a separate PBV option lists rent at 30% of adjusted income. Confirm which program and actual price apply. Its list accepts applications, not proof of a vacancy. SPHA's current waiting-list roster https://spha.net/spha-housing/ marks the listed programs as accepting applications; its pre-application https://spha.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/N-EW-Pre-Application-PACKET-REVISED-01.2026.pdf is effective January 1–December 31, 2026. The packet requires a complete signed form and supporting documents and says all applicants are screened for criminal records; it asks whether any household member has been convicted. It does NOT establish automatic acceptance or rejection for a particular conviction. It says lists are prioritized by applicable preferences and application date/time; SPHA does not give queue positions. The office at 100 Waterman Drive, Suite 101 is for applications/contact, not a residence. Call 207-773-4140 to confirm up-to-date intake, current rent, and written screening criteria.
