HAMMOND HOUSING AUTHORITY PUBLIC HOUSING — https://hammondhousing.org/public-housing/, reviewed September 29, 2026. The page names only Turner Park (80 townhouses) and Hubert Humphrey High-Rise (118 apartments). Their listed counts sum to 198, while HHA's separate https://hammondhousing.org/welcome/ claims 260 public-housing units. These claims are not reconciled; do not infer or invent another 62-unit site, and do not treat any unit total as current availability. Neither named site's page supplies a confirmed residential street address. HHA's https://hammondhousing.org/contact/ calls 7325 Linden Place an office, while its portal https://portal.hammondhousing.org/ and older overview give 1402 173rd Street as an HHA address; neither is verified as one of the two properties. The general overview describes HHA accommodations, but it does not establish individual accessible-unit features. Turner Park — HHA's public-housing page lists 80 townhouses with two to four bedrooms; 80 is a site count, not a vacancy count. It describes rent as 30% of monthly income or choice/ceiling rent, with residents paying their own gas and electricity and a monthly utility allowance deducted in the gross-rent calculation. It lists weekly lawn service and semiannual landscaping, resident-organization participation and off-duty community-policing officers; confirm current services and charges with HHA. A 2022 HHA construction notice locates the development north of Michigan Avenue between Sohl and Hohman Avenues and gives 445 Michigan Court as the community-building meeting place—not a verified address for all 80 townhouses. The page says public-housing units have been smoke-free since January 1, 2018. 2022 construction site description and community-building meeting address: https://hammondhousing.org/request-for-proposals-construction-services/ Hubert Humphrey High-Rise Building — HHA lists 118 apartments from studios to one bedrooms; 118 is a building count, not a current vacancy count. Its page reserves the building for seniors, near-elderly people (50 or older), and people with disabilities, and says children cannot reside in the building. It describes rent as 30% of monthly income with utilities included. Listed amenities and services include coin-operated resident laundry, resident-organization participation, off-duty community-policing officers, remodeled apartments/common areas and a private patio/garden with gazebo; the page is undated, so confirm their present condition. HHA says its public-housing units have been smoke-free since January 1, 2018. This property page gives no residential street address; HHA's office and portal mailing addresses must not be mistaken for the high-rise entrance. No high-rise street address provided by https://hammondhousing.org/public-housing/; administrative contacts https://hammondhousing.org/contact/ and https://portal.hammondhousing.org/ are not proof of a dwelling location. HHA's https://hammondhousing.org/waiting-list-info/ says “THE LOW-INCOME PUBLIC HOUSING WAITING LIST IS NOW CLOSED” (reviewed September 29, 2026). The older “opening” banner on https://hammondhousing.org/public-housing/ links to that closed notice; do not advertise open intake. Ask HHA at 219-989-3265 (the contact on its https://portal.hammondhousing.org/) for a future opening, eligibility and written conviction-screening criteria; neither a vacancy nor approval is verified.
