Local rental overview
LCHA's official Our Communities directory names five communities with page-reported street addresses. They are unverified named-community leads, not confirmation of independent parcels, entrances, active operations, or available rentals. Rufus Mayfield, Bayou Bluff, and Kingsley Court all appear at the same printed address, 1900 Roscoe J. Moore St; the directory does not establish three distinct sites or current operations. No unit counts, rents, bedroom types, vacancies, or property-specific screening outcomes are reported. https://www.lcha004-housing.org/our-communities.html
Application tips
Contact Lake Charles Housing Authority at (337) 426-8981 to verify current application and waiting-list status, the identity and operations of any named community, address, availability, eligibility, and current written screening criteria. Its reviewed home page said Public Housing and Section 8 waiting lists were closed as of 2026-09-25; that updateable general notice is not a property-specific status. No current vacancy or screening outcome is established.

FIVE NAMED-COMMUNITY LEADS (UNVERIFIED; DIRECTORY ORDER)
Rufus Mayfield — 1900 Roscoe J. Moore St, Lake Charles, LA 70601; named in LCHA's official directory, but current operations and availability are unverified. This same street address is also printed for Rufus Mayfield, Bayou Bluff, and Kingsley Court; the directory does not establish separate sites, entrances, buildings, or current operations.
High School Park — 1626 2nd St, Lake Charles, LA 70601; named in LCHA's official directory, but current operations and availability are unverified.
Golden Arms — 1481 3rd St., Lake Charles, LA 70601; named in LCHA's official directory, but current operations and availability are unverified.
Bayou Bluff — 1900 Roscoe J. Moore St, Lake Charles, LA 70601; named in LCHA's official directory, but current operations and availability are unverified. This same street address is also printed for Rufus Mayfield, Bayou Bluff, and Kingsley Court; the directory does not establish separate sites, entrances, buildings, or current operations.
Kingsley Court — 1900 Roscoe J. Moore St, Lake Charles, LA 70601; named in LCHA's official directory, but current operations and availability are unverified. This same street address is also printed for Rufus Mayfield, Bayou Bluff, and Kingsley Court; the directory does not establish separate sites, entrances, buildings, or current operations.
SHARED-ADDRESS CAVEAT
Rufus Mayfield, Bayou Bluff, and Kingsley Court are each separately named and each is printed with the identical address, 1900 Roscoe J. Moore St, Lake Charles, La 70601. Preserve all three page-reported names and their shared address. The directory does not explain whether this is a shared campus, common mailing/site address, multiple developments on one parcel, or a management address; it does not establish three distinct street locations, separate entrances, individually addressable buildings/units, or any unit availability. These are five names preserved from the source directory, not five independently verified parcels or entrances.
APPLICATION AND WAITING LISTS
LCHA's official home page states: “Public Housing and Section 8 waiting lists are currently CLOSED and not accepting new applications at this time!” This general, undated/updateable statement was reviewed 2026-09-25; it is not a property-specific availability determination. Verify current application and waiting-list status directly with LCHA: https://www.lcha004-housing.org/. The reviewed directory reports no unit counts, rents, bedroom mix, vacancies, or property-specific screening outcomes.
LCHA AUTHORITY OFFICE AND PROGRAMS (RESOURCE ONLY)
Lake Charles Housing Authority, 400 W. Hale Street, Suite A, Lake Charles, LA 70601; authority phone (337) 426-8981. This is LCHA's office/contact location, not a community rental address. The official program table associates this row with Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8), Mod Rehab, and Multifamily (Willow Manor-Hickory & Cypress Street). Willow Manor is mentioned as being on Hickory & Cypress; the reviewed page gives no numbered rental street address, so it remains a program resource, not a property listing. Office/contact provenance: https://www.lcha004-housing.org/contact-us.html; program and Willow Manor source: https://www.lcha004-housing.org/our-communities.html. LCHA About Us describes its Section 8 administration and Housing Choice Voucher and Moderate Rehabilitation components: https://www.lcha004-housing.org/about-us.html.
VILLAGES OF LAKE CHARLES PBV (RESOURCE ONLY; ADDRESS ROLE UNCLEAR)
The program table associates “Project Based Voucher (Villages of Lake Charles)” with 404 Cedar Way and phone (337) 436-5382. The page does not establish whether this is the physical community address or a service/management contact, and provides no separate Villages rental address. Do not treat it as a verified property listing. Source: https://www.lcha004-housing.org/our-communities.html.
LLOYD OAKS / MID-CITY CONTEXT — SEPARATE PROJECT
The official Demolition page is headed 'Demolition of Lloyd Oaks (Dixy Drive)' and its event remarks refer to the demolition of Lloyd Oaks Developments and the Mid-City Lofts groundbreaking. The official Mid-City Groundbreaking/Demo Kick-off page links a KPLC headline dated 2024-11-07 describing construction of new housing on the former Lloyd Oaks public-housing site. These materials establish a separate, historical Lloyd Oaks/Mid-City transformation project context; they do not name Rufus Mayfield, High School Park, Golden Arms, Bayou Bluff, or Kingsley Court as the demolished development, and do not establish the current operating or availability status of any of those five.
