Local housing information for Evansville

Local housing resources

EVANSVILLE HOUSING AUTHORITY RAD PROPERTY DIRECTORY — https://www.evansvillehousing.org/property-directory, eight property entries and linked pages reviewed September 29, 2026. EHA labels this its RAD Property Directory; the pages describe buildings and programs, not live vacancies, open waitlists, or acceptance of applicants with convictions. Each property page has an “Apply” link to a print/fax/mail form page referring to this 2022 RAD-PBV waiting-list PDF: https://www.evansvillehousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/RAD-PBV-waiting-List-application-2022.pdf. A downloadable form is not proof that a given list is presently open; contact the named office first. Scattered Sites' own page calls that group public housing while its apply page links to the RAD-PBV form: confirm the program-specific route rather than assuming one form covers all applicants. Buckner Towers — 717 Cherry St., Evansville IN 47713; phone 812-428-8521; fax 812-436-4756. EHA describes 6 two-bedroom, 48 one-bedroom and 54 efficiency units. Its page lists refrigerators, window air conditioners, on-site laundry, secured entry, a bus stop, meal programs and emergency lines in the lobby/elevators. The food, transport and activity descriptions are undated and should be confirmed. These are total units, not vacancies. https://www.evansvillehousing.org/buckner-towers/ Fulton Square Apartments — 1328 Dresden St., Evansville IN 47710; phone 812-428-8516; fax 812-428-8536. EHA describes 110 two- to four-bedroom family units with washer/dryer hookups and 82 efficiency or one-bedroom units with access to four laundry facilities. The page lists central heat/air, a Boys & Girls Club, daycare, playground, gardens, gazebos and transit. The directory's text link to /properties/detail/fulton_square_apartments shows “page can't be found”; its linked image leads to this working EHA detail page. The combined counts are property composition, not available units. https://www.evansvillehousing.org/fulton-square-apartments/ John Cable Apartments — 1111 Cherry St., Evansville IN 47713; phone 812-402-5993; fax 812-402-7895. EHA describes 4 two-bedroom and 20 one-bedroom apartments, with refrigerator, stove, central heat/air, laundry, a community room, key-fob entry and surveillance. The listed 1111 Cherry Street community address is also used as Scattered Sites' contact address; it must not be assigned to every scattered home. https://www.evansvillehousing.org/john-cable-apartments/ John M. Caldwell Homes — 736 Cross St., Evansville IN 47713; phone 812-428-8527; fax 812-428-8535. EHA's linked page calls this Caldwell Homes & Terrace Gardens and describes 180 one- to four-bedroom family units with washer/dryer hookups plus 6 efficiency units with shared laundry. It lists central heat/air, nearby transit, Head Start and YMCA-related programs. The directory treats these names as one entry at 736 Cross Street; the site address is not an address for every unit or confirmation those programs are currently running. https://www.evansvillehousing.org/john-m-caldwell-homes/ Kennedy Towers — 315 S. E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Evansville IN 47713; phone 812-428-8520; fax 812-436-4762. EHA describes 7 two-bedroom, 43 one-bedroom and 50 efficiency units. Its page lists refrigerators, central air conditioning, on-site laundry, secured entry, a bus stop, emergency lines in the lobby/elevators and meal programs. Program schedules and property totals do not establish a present opening. https://www.evansvillehousing.org/kennedy-towers/ Scattered Sites — residential addresses not published; phone 812-402-5993; fax 812-402-7895. EHA describes low-income family homes throughout Evansville under its public-housing program but supplies no number, bedroom mix or residential addresses. Its directory gives 1111 Cherry Street, the same address as John Cable Apartments, as the Scattered Sites contact/manager location; it is not a location for every home. The page lists income, landlord, references, identity and criminal-history reviews, including EHA approval of the background review and possible FBI fingerprints. It quotes an 80% area-median-income limit and $10,500 or $15,000 minimum annual income depending on program; verify current applicability. Its apply page links to a 2022 RAD-PBV waiting-list form despite the page's public-housing description, so ask EHA which intake process applies. This is not a promise of conviction approval. https://www.evansvillehousing.org/scattered-sites/ Schnute Apartments — 1030 W. Franklin St., Evansville IN 47710; phone 812-428-8531; fax 812-436-4752. EHA's page reports 1 two-bedroom, 23 one-bedroom and 91 efficiency apartments. It lists heating/air-conditioning, on-site laundry, key-card access, a manager's office, community-room activities, nearby bus access and meal services. Its unit breakdown is identical to White Oak Manor's page; both are preserved as separate source claims but require EHA confirmation before treating the counts as independently verified. https://www.evansvillehousing.org/schnute-apartments/ White Oak Manor — 509 N. St. Joseph Ave., Evansville IN 47712; phone 812-428-8532; fax 812-436-4753. EHA's page reports 1 two-bedroom, 23 one-bedroom and 91 efficiency apartments. It lists heating/air-conditioning, on-site laundry, key-card access, a manager's office, community-room activities, nearby bus access and meal services. Its unit breakdown is identical to Schnute Apartments' page; both are separate named properties, but the repeated counts should be checked with EHA. https://www.evansvillehousing.org/white-oak-manor/ Fulton Square's directory text link is broken, but EHA's working https://www.evansvillehousing.org/fulton-square-apartments/ confirms the same name, address and phone. John Cable's 1111 Cherry Street is also shown for Scattered Sites as a contact address; it cannot locate its homes. Schnute and White Oak's identical unit breakdowns should be treated as unverified page claims. The scattered-site background and income questions are specific to that group, not a universal rule for every property.
