OLATHE HOUSING AUTHORITY PUBLIC HOUSING — https://www.olatheks.gov/government/housing/olathe-housing-authority/public-housing reviewed September 29, 2026. OHA describes 130 HUD-subsidized conventional public-housing homes: 66 apartments at Parkview Manor and 64 scattered-site single-family/duplex homes. These are portfolio counts, not current vacancies. The Parkview residence is confirmed by https://www.olatheks.gov/Home/Components/FacilityDirectory/FacilityDirectory/71/127; the scattered homes have no individual home addresses on the source page. OHA's https://www.olatheks.gov/government/housing/olathe-housing-authority/waiting-list states that both the public-housing and Housing Choice Voucher waiting lists are currently closed. The listed two-to-five-year wait estimate is for a waitlist with preferences, not an open application or a promised move-in date; existing applicants can check their position at 913-562-6380. Eligibility on https://www.olatheks.gov/government/housing/olathe-housing-authority/public-housing includes income, household composition, citizenship/eligible immigration status, criminal background requirements and good standing with other housing authorities, landlords, utilities and child-support agencies; no conviction-specific acceptance criteria are given. It lists working, elderly, disability and Olathe-residency preferences, not a Parkview-only age restriction. Contact OHA at 913-971-6260 for current intake, unit availability and its written screening criteria. The OHA office at 17300 W. 119th St. is a contact location, not a third residence. Parkview Manor — Olathe Housing Authority says Parkview Manor is a four-story downtown Olathe high-rise with 66 apartments. Tenants pay 30% of adjusted gross household income or a flat-rate rent and do not pay utilities. The city facility directory independently identifies the residential public-housing building at 300 N. Chestnut Street, Olathe KS 66061. The source does not give a current vacancy, specific available bedroom sizes or a conviction-screening approval decision. Parkview's 66 apartments are included in OHA's 130 conventional public-housing units, not additional to that total.

Olathe Housing Authority Scattered-Site Homes — Olathe Housing Authority describes 64 single-family and duplex units scattered throughout Olathe. Tenants pay 30% of adjusted gross household income or a bedroom-size-based flat rate. The page publishes no individual residential addresses, neighborhood list, current vacancies or per-home bedroom mix. This is one portfolio group entry for 64 homes, not one building at OHA's office. The group is deliberately unpinned; its 64 units are included in OHA's stated 130 conventional public-housing units. Source: https://www.olatheks.gov/government/housing/olathe-housing-authority/public-housing. OHA's public-housing page allows one dog or cat subject to size, weight and policy limits; companion and service animals are allowed in all units with exceptions to those limits. It also allows birds and small fish tanks without a pet deposit, and lists exclusions for dangerous/venomous reptiles, ferrets, non-domestic and vicious animals. Confirm the applicable policy before bringing an animal. OHA says tenants must report income changes by appointment within a month and household-composition changes by appointment within ten days; it also describes inspections, access for repairs and written moving notice on https://www.olatheks.gov/government/housing/olathe-housing-authority/public-housing.
