BANGORHOUSING CAPEHART CRESTWOOD NASON PARK — Capehart https://bangorhousing.org/capehart/, Crestwood Place https://bangorhousing.org/crestwood/ and Nason Park Manor https://bangorhousing.org/nason-park/, reviewed September 29, 2026. Three distinct public-housing leads in Bangor: Capehart is a multi-street two-/three-bedroom family group without a single residential map address; Crestwood and Nason Park each have a source-identified one-bedroom building. The pages' 2025 income-limit tables are dated and should not be interpreted as current rents or openings. All three linked BangorHousing pages state their property waitlists are closed to new applications as reviewed September 29, 2026. Each still links https://www.pha-web.com/portals/onlineApplication/1708, but the presence of a generic application button does not override a property-specific closure notice. Ask the leasing team at 207-942-6365 whether any list has reopened, for current income limits and rent, and for the applicable written criminal-history screening policy. None of these pages confirms a vacant unit or that any particular conviction is accepted.
