BIDDEFORD HOUSING SMAH PROPERTIES — https://www.bhousing.org/properties.aspx cross-checked with https://www.bhousing.org/applications.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/documents/smahApplication.pdf, https://www.bhousing.org/pbv.aspx on September 29, 2026. Eleven distinct Biddeford residences/leads: three Mission Hill properties, Adam's Point, Parish Place, 46 Sullivan, 26 South, 66 South youth transitional housing and three smaller PBV sites. Adam's Point appears in TWO directory categories but is ONE 39-unit building with different program options; do not count it twice. The 46 Sullivan body conflicts with its heading and application (6 versus 46), so it is unpinned. The directory places an eight-unit Caring Unlimited domestic-violence set-aside note after 26 South, but 26 South is explicitly four residential units; clarify the attribution with BH rather than multiplying this site's count. Although the overview mentions Saco, every listed address in this directory is in Biddeford. The revised April 1, 2026 https://www.bhousing.org/documents/smahApplication.pdf offers separate property/program choices for Mission Hill Convent, St. Andre's and Adam's Point, and states that 41 Birch, 46 Sullivan and 26 South have no standing lists; the directory independently limits Rectory and the three small PBV sites to applications when a unit becomes available. The property operator's https://www.bhousing.org/applications.aspx links that packet, distinct from the centralized tenant-based Section 8 waitlist. https://www.bhousing.org/pbv.aspx explains that PBV applications and preferences can be property-specific. The SMAH packet says all applicants are screened for criminal records but gives no conviction-specific automatic acceptance or rejection rule; applicants may request the Admissions Plan. Call 207-282-6537 to confirm current application access, rent, vacancies and written screening standards. SMAH's 22 South Street office is not the 26 or 66 South Street residence. Mission Hill – Convent — The Convent at 41 Sullivan Street, Biddeford ME 04005 has 15 studios and one-bedroom apartments for people age 55+. The directory calls them HUD-guideline income-based homes with income restrictions and a waiting list; the revised April 2026 SMAH pre-application lists affordable-unit starting rents of $1,123 for studios and $1,203 for one bedrooms, with electricity not included and vouchers accepted. Verify the exact program and rent for an offered unit. The directory lists heat, hot water and shared Wi-Fi included; accessible homes, laundry, secure/video-monitored building, nearby bus service, parking, an outdoor smoking area, open space and gardens. The dated application offers a property-specific waiting-list selection, not a vacant apartment.

Mission Hill – St. Andre’s — St. Andre's at 39 Sullivan Street, Biddeford ME 04005 has 35 studios and one-bedroom apartments for people age 55+. The directory calls them HUD-guideline income-based homes with income restrictions and a waiting list; the revised April 2026 SMAH pre-application lists affordable-unit starting rents of $813 for studios and $871 for one bedrooms, with electricity not included and vouchers accepted. Confirm the actual rent/program with management. Listed features include an on-site management office, community room, accessible homes, heat, hot water and common Wi-Fi included, laundry, secure/video-monitored building, bus access, parking, outdoor smoking area, open space and gardens. A waiting list is not a vacancy.

Mission Hill – Rectory — The Rectory at 73 Bacon Street, Biddeford ME 04005 has three income-restricted homes: one studio, one two-bedroom and one four-bedroom, plus first-floor community room space. The directory lists heat, hot water and electricity included, in-unit laundry hookups, a secure/video-monitored building, nearby bus service and parking; it is smoke-free. Its page says applications are accepted ONLY when a unit becomes available. This is not an open, continuous three-unit waiting list or proof of a current opening. Sources: https://www.bhousing.org/properties.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/applications.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/documents/smahApplication.pdf, https://www.bhousing.org/pbv.aspx. Adam’s Point — The directory lists Adam's Point twice, once as mixed income and once as project-based vouchers, but both entries describe the SAME 39-unit building at 69 Adams Street, Biddeford ME 04005, presented as new construction in spring 2026. It describes one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units in the property overall, without assigning every size to each funding type. The revised April 2026 pre-application lists affordable one-/two-bedroom rents starting at $1,203/$1,444 with utilities included and vouchers accepted, plus separate PBV one-/two-/three-bedroom options at 30% of adjusted income with utilities included. Verify actual availability, rents, eligibility and which bedroom sizes are in each program. Amenities listed: on-site management, community room, accessible homes, heat, hot water, electricity and internet included, bike storage, secure/video-monitored building, laundry, bus access, parking, smoke-free property, outdoor space and views from many units. The directory describes a waiting list, not vacancies. Sources: https://www.bhousing.org/properties.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/applications.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/documents/smahApplication.pdf, https://www.bhousing.org/pbv.aspx. Parish Place — Parish Place at 41 Birch Street, Biddeford ME 04005 has 47 affordable-market-rental studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments. The directory describes an on-site management office, community room, secure/video-monitored building, heat and hot water included, laundry, nearby bus service and parking; it is smoke-free. Its directory says applications are accepted only when units become available, and the revised April 2026 SMAH pre-application explicitly says 41 Birch Street has NO standing waiting list. Neither source confirms a vacancy or a current rent. Sources: https://www.bhousing.org/properties.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/applications.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/documents/smahApplication.pdf, https://www.bhousing.org/pbv.aspx. 46 Sullivan Street — The directory heading and property photo label identify “46 Sullivan Street,” and the revised April 2026 SMAH pre-application also lists 46 Sullivan Street, Biddeford; however, the directory's body gives “6 Sullivan Street.” Until management resolves the conflicting numbered residence addresses, this two-unit property is unpinned. The directory says one two-bedroom and one three-bedroom income-restricted apartment, with heat and hot water included, community room, secure/video-monitored building, in-unit laundry hookups, bus access, parking and smoke-free premises. Both directory and pre-application say there is NO standing waiting list: applications are accepted only when a unit becomes available. Sources: https://www.bhousing.org/properties.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/applications.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/documents/smahApplication.pdf, https://www.bhousing.org/pbv.aspx. 26 South Street — The directory explicitly locates four residential studios and one-bedroom apartments at 26 South Street, Biddeford ME 04005, with nonprofit office space occupying the front portion of the SAME building; the office is not an additional apartment. It describes HUD-guideline income-based housing with heat, hot water and electricity included, nearby bus access, parking and a smoke-free property. Although the directory points to the general applications page, the revised April 2026 SMAH pre-application expressly says 26 South Street has NO standing waiting list and takes applications only when a unit becomes available. A nearby directory note claims eight domestic-violence set-asides through Caring Unlimited, which cannot be assigned to this four-home site without clarification; do not count them as eight extra units here.

This is a specialized housing lead, not a standard market-rate apartment or a confirmed vacancy. The page lists heat, hot water and electricity included, bus access, parking and smoke-free premises but gives no unit count or bedroom mix. It directs applicants to Preble Street at 207-775-0026, not the usual SMAH waiting-list packet. Sources: https://www.bhousing.org/properties.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/applications.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/documents/smahApplication.pdf, https://www.bhousing.org/pbv.aspx. 70 South Street — The directory lists four MaineHousing-funded project-based-voucher homes at 70 South Street, Biddeford ME 04005: studios and two-bedroom apartments, with a preference for homeless individuals/families. It lists heat and hot water included, basement storage, in-unit laundry hookups, bus access, parking and smoke-free premises. The page says applications are accepted ONLY when units become available; it does not establish a current opening. PBV assistance attaches to the designated apartment rather than following a household to any private rental.

It describes heat and hot water included, community room, laundry, secure/video-monitored building, nearby bus service, parking and smoke-free premises. Applications are accepted ONLY when units become available. The site does not report a current vacancy.
