SALINA SHA SCATTERED-SITE AND WAITLIST REVIEW — SHA's dedicated https://www.salinahousing.org/menu/project_based_vouchers.php page, checked September 30, 2026, says Salina RAD Homes manages scattered-site project-based housing and the waitlist is open only for TWO- and THREE-bedroom units. A July 2024 SHA news description https://www.salinahousing.org/newslist.php calls it a 118-unit inventory (24 RAD + 94 PBV; ten 1-bedroom, 56 2-bedroom, 52 3-bedroom) spanning single-family homes, duplexes, row houses and fourplexes; these are NOT current openings. The source lists no residence streets. RAD Homes' 300 S. 9th St., Suite 107 office https://www.salinahousing.org/contact_us/index.php and SHA's 469 S. 5th St. office are NOT rental locations. RAD Homes: (785) 827-3892; SHA: (785) 827-0441. In contrast, the tenant-based HCV/Section 8 list https://www.salinahousing.org/menu/section_8_housing_choice_vouchers.php is CLOSED effective September 30, 2025; SHA says it is funded for 553 vouchers, not 553 available apartments. Its public-housing list https://www.salinahousing.org/menu/public_housing.php is permanently CLOSED; that older page's statement that Section 8 applications are received conflicts with the newer HCV closure. SHA's https://www.salinahousing.org/menu/faq.php says it reviews criminal, rental and credit histories, without a published felony-specific rule or assured approval. SHA separately describes 30 HUD-VASH vouchers via VA case-manager referral (https://www.salinahousing.org/menu/vash.php; https://www.salinahousing.org/menu/faq.php), voluntary Family Self-Sufficiency for already leased participants (https://www.salinahousing.org/menu/family_self_sufficiency.php), and a security-deposit assistance page https://www.salinahousing.org/security_deposit_assistance/index.php with 2024 application instructions and dated income figures—none is a residential property, and the latter page does not establish funding available today. Ask each program for present intake, specific residence, rents and screening.
