Meridian Housing Authority — source-reviewed directory (September 30, 2026): https://www.meridianhousing.net/developments/. The ten named public-housing development rows list 1,047 units and 15 scattered-site rows list 168, a directory sum of 1,215. The housing and asset-management pages also say 1,215, but a repeated authority-site footer says 1,214 and another narrative says nine developments instead of the ten directory rows. These are conflicting source claims, not a verified current portfolio total. Directory unit counts are not vacancies or bedroom mixes.

Public-housing application instructions: pick up forms Monday–Friday at the Eugene F.

Source: https://www.meridianhousing.net/how-to-apply-for-public-housing-assistance-at-mha/. This does not establish that any public-housing list is open today. MHA's separate voucher page (https://www.meridianhousing.net/housing-choice-voucher-program/) says its HCV waitlist is closed until further notice and reports 215 vouchers; this does not close the public-housing or transitional lists. The directory does not state current rents, vacancies, or conviction-screening rules.
MHA administrative office: 2425 E Street, Meridian, MS; general phone 601-693-4285. The contact page prints ZIP 39302 while its embedded map prints 39301, so confirm postal details.

Selected on-site managers are listed at https://www.meridianhousing.net/on-site-property-managers/; contacts there are not evidence of openings. 2305 D Street is both the application-center address and the directory address for Mt. View Village, not a general residential address for every applicant.
