Application and waitlist programs
Public Housing: HANO describes public housing as rental assistance for low-income families and individuals. Eligibility depends on annual gross income, elderly/person-with-disability/family status, and citizenship or eligible immigration status. The page says there is no minimum income, the applicant and any co-head must be at least 18, and qualified applicants must meet HUD/LIHTC income limits as applicable, provide Social Security numbers for household members, and satisfy HANO's ACOP or approved agent's Resident Selection Criteria and orientation requirements. Site-Based Waiting List openings are to be announced by public notice, local newspaper advertisement, stakeholder notification, and HANO's website. Applicants are directed to visit My Housing or a public-housing community. The FAQ describes completing a pre-application and mailing it within the announced open period; it is not considered submitted until USPS-stamped, received, and picked up by HANO or its agent. The property site manager maintains that property's list; wait time is expressly unpredictable. Availability status: Not established by the reviewed pages. No current property-specific opening or vacancy is claimed. Source: https://www.hano.org/public-housing/
Project-Based Vouchers (PBV): Eligible families on a PBV Site-Based Waiting List may be referred to a participating property when units become vacant. HANO states that owners select families for occupancy after screening. PBV assistance is attached to specified units and does not automatically follow a household that moves. Availability status: The general PBV explanation does not establish an open list or vacancy at any directory community. Source: https://www.hano.org/project-based-voucher-program/

Directory and source caveats
Bienville Basin ZIP conflict: The directory lists 401 Treme Street, New Orleans, LA 70112; the detail page lists 401 Treme St., New Orleans, LA 70122. Street address and identity match; retain one property and flag ZIP for verification. Sources: https://www.hano.org/residents/communities/, https://www.hano.org/residents/communities/bienville-basin/.
Harmony Oaks ZIP conflict: The directory lists 3320 Clara Street, New Orleans, LA 70113; the detail page lists 3320 Clara St., New Orleans, LA 70115. Street address and identity match; retain one property and flag ZIP for verification. Sources: https://www.hano.org/residents/communities/, https://www.hano.org/residents/communities/harmony-oaks/.
Columbia Parc detail-page telephone hyperlink mismatch: The visible phone and directory number are (504) 284-4769, but the detail page's tel hyperlink encodes (504) 894-8828, which is also the displayed Harmony Oaks number. Keep the visible/directory number as the page-supported contact and verify before calling. Sources: https://www.hano.org/residents/communities/, https://www.hano.org/residents/communities/columbia-parc/.
Columbia Parc detail-page website link mismatch: The directory points to Columbia Residential's Columbia Parc page. On the Columbia Parc detail page the visible link label is columbiaries.com but its target is harmonyoaksapts.com, a different community. Record the directory's Columbia Residential link; do not treat the detail-page destination as Columbia Parc's website. Sources: https://www.hano.org/residents/communities/, https://www.hano.org/residents/communities/columbia-parc/.
HANO About Us redevelopment narrative appears stale: About Us says B.W. Cooper and Lafitte are 'currently underway' and calls Iberville the next major transformation. The current community directory lists Faubourg Lafitte as a current property, while Bienville Basin is listed as current at the former Iberville site. Treat this narrative as historical/dated context, not current leasing status. Sources: https://www.hano.org/about-us/, https://www.hano.org/residents/communities/.
New Florida and Scattered Sites share a representative address: Both HANO detail pages display 2521 Independence Street and the same phone. New Florida is an address-level 52-unit development; Scattered Sites describes separate East/West Bank clusters but gives no individual cluster addresses. Do not create a second property at 2521 Independence for Scattered Sites. Sources: https://www.hano.org/residents/communities/new-florida/, https://www.hano.org/residents/communities/scattered-sites/.
Faubourg Lafitte total uses future tense: The detail page says the revitalized site 'will include 812 new homes and apartments.' It gives no as-of date or completed/current count. Preserve as the page's stated planned total, not a verified current unit count or availability figure. Sources: https://www.hano.org/residents/communities/faubourg-lafitte/.
No current vacancy, open waiting list, rent offer, eligibility decision, or criminal-record admission outcome is established by this review. Confirm details directly with HANO and each community.
Source-linked housing resources (New Orleans, LA):
- Scattered Sites. Official sources: https://www.hano.org/residents/communities/, https://www.hano.org/residents/communities/scattered-sites/. Caveat: Scattered clusters across East Bank and West Bank; without individual addresses this is a resource/contact record only, not an address-supported rental property.
