AUGUSTA HOUSING NINE PROGRAM-PAGE RESIDENCES — Augusta Housing's programs page describes seven Augusta residential leads and two in Gardiner. Separate the 31-unit assisted-living Inn, address-free supportive Orchard Street program, and two Gardiner properties from standard Augusta apartment buildings. Maple Street and Capital Village have conflicting residence numbers; Sturgeon Landing gives only Park Street; Summer Street spans several numbers. The image-only Iron Heights flyer says “coming soon” but its current manager and July 2026 opening coverage show it as a Gardiner apartment building. Augusta Housing source https://www.augustahousing.org/programs.html reviewed September 29, 2026. Residential details and dated unit counts are leads, not live vacancy or conviction-specific acceptance claims. Apply through each listed property's manager rather than mailing a property application to Augusta Housing's office. Confirm current income limits, rents, age/occupancy rules, availability, application steps and written screening with the named operator. Augusta Housing separately links to the Maine statewide Housing Choice Voucher/Section 8 waitlist at https://maine.affordablehousing.com/ and describes Family Self Sufficiency for voucher families (207-626-2357 ext. 9). Its voucher-applicant FAQ https://www.augustahousing.org/faqapplicants.html says recent criminal activity involving domestic violence or drugs MAY lead to voucher denial; it is about HCV eligibility, not a blanket screening rule for every independently managed residence. The program page distinguishes tenant-based vouchers, which follow the person, from project-based vouchers attached to a unit. Hodgkins School Apartments — 47 units; 55+ affordable senior apartments with subsidy options. Augusta Housing lists 47 age-55+ homes at 17 Malta Street in the converted Hodgkins School. C&C Realty Management breaks these down as eight studios and 39 one-bedroom apartments and says it is always accepting applications, not that 47 homes are vacant. The property has laundry, a community room, healing garden, raised beds and nearby trails; small pets are allowed. Rent includes heat, hot water and air conditioning according to Augusta Housing, and is tied to Kennebec County income limits; the manager says applicants need income of at least 2.5 times monthly rent and accepts HCV, BRAP and other subsidies. Augusta Housing reports a waiting-list preference for homeless veterans for at least 20% of units. Apply through C&C or call the listed number; the project-based program heading does not establish that all 47 units carry project-based assistance.

Twenty-nine townhome-style homes built by December 2019: fourteen one-bedroom, eight two-bedroom and seven three-bedroom; two- and three-bedroom units have 1.5 bathrooms. Augusta Housing puts the development on Sadie's Way at the end of Maple Street, C&C Realty Management calls its location 1 Sadie's Way, but Augusta Housing's 2025 Kennebec list calls it 33 Maple Street. These may be different entrances or a source conflict; keep the 29-unit community unpinned until the residential address is confirmed. Community room, laundry, small pets, heat included; C&C says it is always accepting applications and requires a minimum income of 2.5 times monthly rent, with HCV/BRAP/other subsidies accepted.

Augusta Housing says this Park Street, Augusta development opened in May 2025; no numbered residential street address is given on its page or on the manager's current page, so do not pin it. Thirty-two homes: sixteen one-bedroom, nine two-bedroom and seven three-bedroom. Twenty are restricted to households at or below 50% of Kennebec County area median income, twelve at or below 60%; eight of the 32 have project-based vouchers, not all 32. Heat/hot water, elevator, laundry, community room, outdoor play area/garden, bike/stroller storage, resident services and parking are listed. C&C's page says “Now Leasing” and offers application/prescreen links, with a minimum income guideline of 2.5 times rent and HCV/BRAP/other subsidies accepted; confirm actual available unit and whether its subsidy path differs before applying.

Augusta Housing identifies an Orchard Street building in Augusta offering three-bedroom transitional homes through project-based voucher assistance alongside support for tenants.

Augusta Housing describes two- and three-bedroom townhomes with heat/hot water, laundry, modern kitchens, clubhouse, garden and play space.
