RENO HOUSING AUTHORITY FIFTEEN-PROPERTY REVIEW — https://www.renoha.org/properties/ dynamically loads 15 published RHA property records: The Village at Hawk View (Public Housing; building total not stated; https://www.renoha.org/rha-properties/the-village-at-hawk-view/); Tom Sawyer Village (Public Housing; 1 story apartment complex – 100 units; https://www.renoha.org/rha-properties/tom-sawyer-village/); Stead Manor (Public Housing; Townhouse Floor Plans – 64 units; https://www.renoha.org/rha-properties/stead-manor/); Silver Sage Court (Affordable Housing; 1 story apartment complex – 16 units; https://www.renoha.org/rha-properties/silver-sage-court/); Myra Birch Manor (Public Housing; Townhouse Floor Plans – 56 units; https://www.renoha.org/rha-properties/myra-birch-manor/); John McGraw (Public Housing; 1 story apartment complex – 34 units; https://www.renoha.org/rha-properties/john-mcgraw/); Essex Manor (Public Housing; 1 story duplexes – 106 units; https://www.renoha.org/rha-properties/essex-manor/); Mineral Manor (Public Housing; 1 story Duplexes – 144 units; https://www.renoha.org/rha-properties/mineral-manor/); D&K Horizons (Affordable Housing; 2 story apartment complex; https://www.renoha.org/rha-properties/dk-horizons/); Pilgrim Rest (Project Based Voucher; Unknown; https://www.renoha.org/rha-properties/pilgrim-rest/); Yorkshire Terrace (Affordable Housing; 1 story duplex – 30 apartments; https://www.renoha.org/rha-properties/yorkshire-terrace/); Willie J. Wynn (Affordable Housing; 2 story apartment complex – 44 Units; https://www.renoha.org/rha-properties/willie-j-wynn/); Railyard Flats (Affordable Housing; 3 story apartment complex – 15 Units; https://www.renoha.org/rha-properties/railyard-flats/); Dick Scott (Project Based Voucher; 2 story apartment complex – 12 units; https://www.renoha.org/rha-properties/dick-scott/); Silverada Manor (Affordable Housing; 11 building apartment complex – 150 Units; https://www.renoha.org/rha-properties/silverada-manor/). These are catalog inventory descriptions, not confirmed vacancies or 15 confirmed City-of-Reno street locations: individual residential streets/ZIPs are not in the visible RHA property details, and a Sparks/Washoe site must not be relabeled Reno solely from RHA's office address. Every record is unpinned and grouped here only for discovery. Mineral Manor's building field claims 144 units but its bedroom mix totals 150; Hawk View's detail labels Public Housing while https://www.renoha.org/for-applicants/ calls its open list Project-Based. Silverada Manor's Affordable Housing detail and project-based applicant list are also separate source claims. https://www.renoha.org/for-applicants/ currently says all public-housing and project-based lists OPEN, the HCV/Section 8 list CLOSED, and Pilgrims Rest's listed project-based intake 62+; no vacant unit is verified. The authority says applications involve fingerprint background and rental-history checks but publishes no blanket felony outcome. Ask RHA at (775) 329-3630 or admissions@renoha.org for a specific property's entrance, program, availability, and screening.
