Screening practices and applicable requirements can vary by property and location. Ask each housing provider about its current criteria and verify reported policy details directly. For questions about your rights, consider consulting a qualified local housing or legal resource. Approval is never guaranteed.
Louisville renters can use Louisville Metro Housing Authority (LMHA) as an official starting point for public-housing and housing-choice information. LMHA's site and site directory describe authority programs and properties; they do not establish that a particular home is currently available.
LMHA is a local public-housing resource, not a comprehensive listing of Louisville rentals. Its property directory is useful for learning about authority sites, but it is not a live vacancy list. Confirm current program status, application availability, and property details directly with LMHA.
This page does not verify LMHA's current screening standards or predict an individual decision. Ask the provider directly how its current written eligibility and screening rules apply to your circumstances; do not assume acceptance or rejection based on a record alone.
Start at LMHA's official website and confirm whether the program you want is taking applications. Ask which application channel and documents are current, how to report changes, and how to check your status. Use only contact details and application links published by LMHA.
Louisville Metro Housing Authority (LMHA) directory, reviewed September 30, 2026: https://www.lmha1.org/housing/oursites.php. It has eight linked profiles: Avenue Plaza (224 units for elderly/disabled residents, 420 South 8th Street), 550 Apartments (downtown, no numbered address), H. Temple Spears (65 homes on Algonquin Parkway, no number), Liberty Green (six-block mixed-income NuLu neighborhood, no single home entrance), Lourdes Hall (62 homes, resident council at 735 Eastern Parkway), Parkway Place (640 units in 58 buildings across 38.2 acres, no single home entrance), St. Catherine Court (159 homes, resident council at 1114 South Fourth Street), and Will E. Seay Plaza (89 homes, resident council at 4314 Bishop Lane). Each profile is linked from the directory. Council addresses are building/contact references, not open apartments: https://www.lmha1.org/about_lmha/resident_councils.php. The Avenue Plaza community profile says 420 South 8th Street while its resident council lists a different office at 400 South Eighth Street. LMHA's Parkway Place management office is 1622-B S 13th Street, not every unit. No linked profile posts a current rent or vacancy. The same directory has 24 further names under “Public Housing Units,” without detail links, current vacancy, or unit-level addresses: 801 E Broadway; Bayberry Place; Berrytown Apartments; Breckinridge Lane; Del Maria Way; East Pages Lane; Fegenbush Lane; Noltemeyer Wynde Complex; Norbrook Apts; Park Duvall; Powerhouse Ln; Sheppard Square; Six Mile Lane Apts; St Francis; St Martin Apts; Stephen Foster; Taylorsville Road Apts; Terrier Ct; The Friary; Third Street Road Apts; Townepark; Vaughn Mill Rd Apts; Village Manor; Whipps Mill Road Complex. Only 801 E Broadway is itself a numbered street label; the other road/complex names do not establish a single residential entrance. LMHA separately says it has hundreds of scattered-site homes throughout the metro area: https://www.lmha1.org/housing/scattered_sites.php. The directory names are not a claim of 32 single buildings or a complete unit inventory. Intake: LMHA's Public Housing instructions say to use its Rent Café portal (https://www.lmha1.org/housing/application_for_public_housing.php), but the live portal (https://portal.lmha1.org/) currently says “New applications are NOT being taken at this time for Section 8 or Public Housing. Applications are closed.” Existing applicants can check waitlist status at 502-584-1704. Questions: 502-569-3400. Main office: 320 South Fifth Street, Louisville KY 40202; it is not a home address. Confirm any change in application status directly with LMHA. Traditional Public Housing admissions policy, effective May 4, 2026: https://www.lmha1.org/housing/acop.php. The policy excludes lifetime or currently registered sex offenders, methamphetamine manufacture in federally assisted housing, current illegal drug use, and certain drug-related evictions for five years with stated exceptions. LMHA may refuse other violence/safety-related histories but considers time, nature, seriousness, rehabilitation, counseling and reentry needs. See §8.3 of the PDF linked from that page. This is not blanket approval for applicants with felonies; it does not automatically apply to every mixed-income home among the eight linked profiles or to Section 8.
