Local housing resources
BLOOMINGTON HOUSING AUTHORITY RAD COMMUNITIES — https://bhaindiana.net/programs/rad, three linked property pages plus https://bhaindiana.net/programs/rad/getting-started/ and https://bhaindiana.net/programs/application-portal/, reviewed September 29, 2026. BHA calls its affordable RAD program 320 income-restricted homes across Walnut Woods, Reverend Butler and Crestmont, generally one to five bedrooms and supported by unit-linked Section 8 subsidy/LIHTC; the portal additionally describes Crestmont efficiencies. The 320 is a program total, not current vacancies. Walnut Woods' 60 and Reverend Butler's 56 are property-page counts; do not derive an asserted Crestmont total by subtraction. BHA's portal calls Crestmont “Public Housing” in one section and includes it with RAD in another; confirm unit-level program classification. Walnut Woods — 802 E. Miller Drive. BHA lists 60 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments with private parking at 802 E. Miller Drive. Its page describes renovation priorities—code, environmental, accessibility, structural, modernization and energy work—but does not say every improvement is complete. It lists public transit, a Head Start location, resident council, playground, nearby schools and shopping. The named bus stop is Miller at Walnut Woods; unit count is not an available-unit count. https://bhaindiana.net/programs/rad/walnut-woods/ Reverend E. D. Butler — 1202 W. 11th Street. BHA's RAD overview shortens this name to Reverend Butler; the property page calls it Reverend E. D. Butler. It lists 56 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments with private parking at 1202 W. 11th Street. Built in 1972, its page says renovated units were completed in 2009 and describes additional renovation priorities, not a present construction schedule. It lists public transit, a resident council, computer lab with free Wi-Fi, a weekly food pantry, playground, tot lot/pocket park, adult basic education and a Little Free Library; confirm current program schedules. A sample two-bedroom floor plan is linked on the property page. https://bhaindiana.net/programs/rad/reverend-butler/ Crestmont — 1007 W. N Summit St (as printed by BHA; malformed, unverified residential address). BHA's RAD property page gives “1007 W. N Summit St,” an internally malformed address resembling its office at 1007 N. Summit Street. Do not place every Crestmont home at the administrative office. Its application portal describes a neighborhood of single-story and townhouse homes, from efficiency units through five bedrooms; the property page does not give Crestmont's unit total. BHA says the site was built in 1965, with units renovated from 2009 onward and full RAD renovations beginning in spring 2022; that is a dated history, not proof work is still underway. It lists transit, resident council, computer lab with free Wi-Fi, weekly food pantry, playground, adult education and Little Free Library; confirm present services. A sample two-bedroom floor plan is linked on the property page. The portal also calls Crestmont “Public Housing” in one section while grouping it with RAD elsewhere; confirm the current unit program with BHA. https://bhaindiana.net/programs/rad/crestmont/ The property pages give management contact 812-339-3491 ext. 112 or 118 and fax 812-339-7177; work orders ext. 121 and after-hours emergencies ext. 3 are service channels, not proof of open intake. BHA's https://bhaindiana.net/programs/rad/getting-started/ says the three sites share one RAD waitlist and that placement depends on unit size and verified preference points rather than first-come order. It describes income and immigration/citizenship eligibility, landlord-reference checks and a mandatory drug screen for adults before an offer (https://bhaindiana.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Drug-Screen-Policy.pdf); it does not publish a property-specific guarantee for applicants with convictions. https://bhaindiana.net/programs/application-portal/ explicitly labels the shared RAD waiting list “Closed October 30th, 2024.” The portal's “Apply Now” and step-two form links do not override that closure. Check BHA directly at 812-339-3491 for changes; no vacancy or intake is independently verified.
