Local housing resources
GFHA's community directory https://gfhousing.org/housing/gfha-communities/ lists five public-housing community entries (490 apartments in all: Austin Hall 34, the combined Main Site/Chowen Springs/Parkdale complex 356, Sunrise Court 50, Russell 20 and Yeoman-Tynes 30) and two separately administered, fixed-rent affordable communities (Holland Court 16 and Sand Hills 16). The Main Site group total is not a separate count for each named area. Neither directory nor application proves a unit is vacant today. Application instructions: https://gfhousing.org/housing/applications-forms/. GFHA says its forms are not fillable online: print and send the Public Housing and Section 8/Housing Choice Voucher form (https://gfhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2026-APPLICATION.pdf), or the separate Affordable Housing form (https://gfhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/AFFORDABLE-HOUSING-APPLICATON.pdf). Return the completed form to Great Falls Housing Authority, 1500 Chowen Springs Loop, Great Falls, MT 59405-2564, or fax 406-727-5566. This is the application-office address; it must not be substituted for the residential address of every community. Questions: 406-453-4311. The 2026 public-housing application describes income-based rent around 30% of adjusted income and placement on a waitlist by preferences and date; it also lists site references and requires landlord or professional references. Housing Choice Vouchers pay toward a home with a participating private landlord, not a GFHA residence. The separate affordable packet describes income-tier limits, landlord reference, police background investigation and credit review. Neither packet supplies blanket felony acceptance, current availability or a reliable move-in time; ask GFHA for current written criteria for the precise program. Site-location caution: the application prints 1500 Chowen Springs Loop beside 'Main Site', but that is also its application-office address and does not describe every Chowen Springs or Parkdale apartment. Holland Court is referenced only by the 6th Street NW/10th Avenue NW intersection, without a specific building number.
