The linked September 2024 HHA snow-removal document (https://hhamt.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/HHA-Snow-Removal-Services-RFP-Site-Lists-All-Site-Maps-092624.pdf) names 22 site-table rows on PDF pages 2 and 16. These are work-order/service locations with maps, NOT a rental directory or a vacancy report. Grouped street numbers are retained as one directory-level site lead each, with no invented single address or per-site unit count. Historic names on map backgrounds are not additional properties. A later August 2025 HHA site list (https://hhamt.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/081325-RFP-Update.pdf) repeats these locations with amendments and other sites and facilities; this page covers the 22 entries in the PDF you supplied, not every HHA home. HHA's affordable-housing page (https://hhamt.org/affordable-housing) independently identifies Wilder Apartments (31 units) and RoadRunner Residences (16 units) as LIHTC housing with property-specific online applications. These 47 homes are not automatically income-based public housing; income and full-time-student rules apply. HHA's general public-housing page (https://hhamt.org/public-housing) describes eligibility and criminal-background/reference checks for its public-housing program but does not verify an individual's approval. HHA states on its 2026 plan page (https://hhamt.org/news-updates) that it expects to begin converting 366 public-housing residences to project-based voucher assistance in phases; the 2024 snow-removal PDF cannot establish which site's program classification has changed. For application and waitlist details use HHA's portal (https://portal.hhamt.org/) or call 406-442-7970. The 812 Abbey Street address shown at the top of the RFP is HHA's administrative office, not a residential address for all listed sites. Road Runner's official map caption and later roof-work notice disagree about whether its street suffix is St. or Dr.; confirm before visiting. The 2024 list spells Humbolt without a d, while HHA's later 2025 list spells Humboldt. None of these sources confirms a vacancy, rental price or conviction-specific acceptance.
