MANHATTAN HOUSING AUTHORITY FACILITIES — https://www.mhaks.com/Facilities reviewed September 29, 2026. The Facilities search has six unique cards, although its first page shows only five. Four named public-housing communities have residential support in MHA's 2026 property RFP https://www.mhaks.com/DocumentCenter/View/276/MHA-RFP---PNA-2026?bidId=: Apartment Towers (88 units), Baehr Place (20), Hudson Circle (19) and Pottawatomie Court (28). The Flint Hills Improvements, Inc. card is an affiliate/program label at Kimball Avenue and N. Manhattan Avenue; https://www.mhaks.com/175/Flint-Hills-Tax-Credit-Program supports a rental site there, and the RFP calls Flint Hills Place a 30-unit work scope at 1300 Flint Hills Place. Those are program/site counts, not vacancies. The directory's sixth card is Carlson Plaza at 425 Pierre Street (https://www.mhaks.com/Facilities/Facility/Details/Carlson-Plaza-3), but MHA's https://mhaks.com/DocumentCenter/View/280/2027-Annual-Plan calls it a former site undergoing Section 18 disposition and planning for a replacement building. Earlier MHA board material reported all 47 former public-housing units vacated. Its still-live Facilities card is not evidence of a currently leasable building; it is kept here as a historical/site-status lead, not a published rental record. Older program-page portfolio totals should not be added to the newer RFP scope or presented as present vacancies. Apartment Towers — The Facilities card identifies Apartment Towers near Leavenworth Street and N. 5th Street, Manhattan KS 66502. MHA's 2026 asset-condition RFP identifies this public-housing residence as 88 units at 300 N. 5th Street. MHA also uses 300 N. 5th Street as an office address; the RFP independently establishes that housing is located there. The card contains photos but no current unit vacancy, property-specific rent, screening approval or amenities inventory. The 88 units are an RFP property count, not available apartments. Facilities card: https://www.mhaks.com/Facilities/Facility/Details/Apartment-Towers-2. RFP: https://www.mhaks.com/DocumentCenter/View/276/MHA-RFP---PNA-2026?bidId=. Baehr Place — The Facilities card labels this Baehr Place but prints “Baher Place and Claflin Avenue” as an intersection; the street spelling differs from its property name. MHA's 2026 asset-condition RFP lists Baehr Place at 1327 Baehr Place with 20 units. That RFP address is a site reference, not evidence that all 20 units occupy one entrance, so the group has no single map pin. MHA's public-housing program describes duplex/fourplex and townhome communities but does not assign a specific structure or bedroom mix to this individual card. No current vacancy or screening approval is established. Facilities card: https://www.mhaks.com/Facilities/Facility/Details/Baehr-Place-6. RFP: https://www.mhaks.com/DocumentCenter/View/276/MHA-RFP---PNA-2026?bidId=. Hudson Circle — The Facilities card locates Hudson Circle near Anderson Avenue and Hudson Circle, Manhattan KS 66502. MHA's 2026 asset-condition RFP lists 19 units across a 3501–3527 Hudson Circle site range. These are property-count and site-range claims, not a vacancy count or one verified entrance for every home; the community is unpinned. Neither page identifies its individual units' rents, bedroom mix or criminal-history screening outcome. Facilities card: https://www.mhaks.com/Facilities/Facility/Details/Hudson-Circle-5. RFP: https://www.mhaks.com/DocumentCenter/View/276/MHA-RFP---PNA-2026?bidId=. Pottawatomie Court — The Facilities card locates Pottawatomie Court near 10th Street and Pottawatomie Avenue, Manhattan KS 66502. MHA's 2026 asset-condition RFP lists 28 units at the 1000–1028 Pottawatomie Court site range. The range is not a single entrance and the 28 units are not live availability; this group is unpinned. Neither page verifies rents, each home's unit mix or conviction-screening approval. Facilities card: https://www.mhaks.com/Facilities/Facility/Details/Pottawatomie-Court-4. RFP: https://www.mhaks.com/DocumentCenter/View/276/MHA-RFP---PNA-2026?bidId=. Flint Hills Place — The Facilities directory calls its Kimball Avenue/N. Manhattan Avenue card “Flint Hills Improvements, Inc.”, an organization name, not a numbered residence. MHA's Flint Hills Tax Credit Program page independently says it manages income-qualified rental housing at that same intersection, with one- through four-bedroom units. MHA's 2026 asset-condition RFP separately names Flint Hills Place, 1300 Flint Hills Place, with 30 units in that RFP's work scope. The public-housing program page calls its affiliated sixth property “Flint Hills Place Improvements” and describes 60 dual-designated public-housing/tax-credit units; the pages do not establish whether the RFP's 30 are a subset of those 60. This one group entry does not turn the company or each unit into extra apartments. Neither intersection nor 1300 is asserted to be every home's entrance; no single street is pinned. The tax-credit page's income and rent tables have no effective date, so quoted prices and any vacancy require direct confirmation. Facilities card: https://www.mhaks.com/Facilities/Facility/Details/Flint-Hills-Improvements-Inc-1. Program: https://www.mhaks.com/175/Flint-Hills-Tax-Credit-Program. RFP: https://www.mhaks.com/DocumentCenter/View/276/MHA-RFP---PNA-2026?bidId=. MHA's https://www.mhaks.com/173/Applications invites online applications for public housing and/or the voucher-program waitlist. It does not establish a vacant unit or open intake for every named community, and it does not explicitly say the same form covers all Flint Hills tax-credit units. Confirm the applicable application route, current rent, availability and written criminal-history screening rules with MHA at 785-776-8588. No source reviewed establishes conviction acceptance for a particular property.
