DOVER DHA EIGHT LINKED PROPERTY PAGES — The https://doverhousingauthority.org/properties/ directory says DHA owns or manages OVER 500 affordable units and links these EIGHT property pages, whose headline counts sum to 503; the sum does not establish that all 503 are public-housing units or vacant. Addison Place is explicitly LIHTC and Whittier Falls underwent RAD conversion. The three extra market-rate labels “Avon Street,” “Maple Street” and “Union Street” have no linked property detail, numbered residence, unit count or applicant route on this page; retain them as street-level research leads, not apartment records. The https://doverhousingauthority.org/contact-us/ identifies 62 Whittier Street as DHA's ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE (603-742-5804), not the address of all Whittier Falls homes. Reviewed September 29, 2026. Eight linked developments: 1. Addison Place (45 headline units) — DHA calls this a 45-unit family LIHTC community built in 1997, with two- and three-bedroom homes and acceptance of qualified Housing Choice Voucher holders. The narrative says 37 three-bedroom plus SIX two-bedroom homes (43 total), while its Property Details say 37 three-bedroom plus EIGHT two-bedroom homes (45 total). Keep the advertised 45-unit headline with BOTH conflicting breakdowns; confirm with DHA. Household-size rules on the page say two to four people for a two-bedroom, and three to seven for a three-bedroom; its income chart confusingly also lists two-person and eight-person three-bedroom rows. The undated chart lists minimum incomes of $35,000 (two-bedroom) and $40,000 (three-bedroom), waived for HCV holders, and various 60%-AMFI household-size maximums from $65,280 to $107,760. It names five lower-income 50%-AMFI units, numbers 2, 4, 7, 10 and 11; confirm current limits. Heat and hot water included; residents pay electricity. Laundry, parking and smoke-free property. Criminal background, landlord references and expected income/assets are screening factors. The page does not give a numbered residence, price or current vacancy.

Jack Buckley Commons (30 headline units) — Thirty one-bedroom apartments in a former church at 18 Chapel Street, converted in 1982; the page labels this elderly or handicapped housing without a numeric age threshold. It says income at or below 80% of area median income. Heat and hot water included; residents pay for electricity (including electric stove) and Dover trash bags. Smoke-free, laundry, parking, community room and one elevator. No current opening or rent is shown. Source https://doverhousingauthority.org/jack-buckley-commons/ 3. Waldron Towers (84 headline units) — Eighty-four one-bedroom apartments at 3 Green Street, built in 1976; labeled elderly or handicapped without a numeric age threshold. The page says income at or below 80% of area median income; all utilities included. Smoke-free, laundry, parking, community room and elevator access. No current opening or rent is shown. Source https://doverhousingauthority.org/waldron-towers/ 4. Central Towers (70 headline units) — Seventy apartments at 279 Central Avenue, built in 1964: 59 one-bedroom and 11 two-bedroom. Labeled elderly or handicapped without a numeric age threshold, with income at or below 80% of area median income. The page says all utilities included; smoke-free, laundry, parking, community room and elevator access. No current opening or rent is shown. Source https://doverhousingauthority.org/central-towers/ 5. Niles Park (40 headline units) — Forty apartments built in 1962 at the multi-address 31–82 Union Street site, not a single doorway: the introduction says 36 one-bedroom and FOUR two-bedroom, but the Property Details 'Rooms' field says only one bedroom. Preserve both claims pending confirmation. Labeled elderly and/or disabled, income at or below 80% of area median income; all utilities included. Smoke-free, laundry, parking and Niles Hall community center. No current opening or rent is shown. Source https://doverhousingauthority.org/niles-park/ 6. Whittier Falls Housing (184 headline units) — DHA's 184-home family neighborhood spans Pleasant View Circle, Mineral Park Drive, Hampshire Circle and Whittier Street; do not pin the neighborhood to the separate DHA intake office at 62 Whittier Street. Its listed mix is 12 one-bedroom, 70 two-bedroom, 80 three-bedroom and 22 four-bedroom homes (184 total). Built between 1952 and 1962, it underwent RAD conversion in 2017–2019. DHA states income at or below 50% of area median income, heat and hot water included, residents pay electricity. Smoke-free, laundry hookups, parking and Seymour Osman Community Center. No current opening or rent is shown. Source https://doverhousingauthority.org/whittier-falls-housing/ 7. Edgar Bois Terrace (20 headline units) — Twenty one-bedroom apartments on Niles Street (no numbered entrance supplied), built in 1984, labeled elderly and/or disabled without a numeric age threshold. The page says income at or below 80% of area median income and 'No Utilities Included'; it names electricity, electric stoves, heat and hot water. Ask DHA to confirm each charge. Smoke-free, laundry, parking and Niles Hall community center. No current opening or rent is shown. Source https://doverhousingauthority.org/edgar-bois-terrace/ 8. Union Court (30 headline units) — Thirty one-bedroom apartments at the range 1–24 Union Court, built in 1964; preserve the range, not one map pin. Labeled elderly and/or disabled without a numeric age threshold; income at or below 80% of area median income. Heat and hot water included; residents pay electricity. Smoke-free, laundry, parking and Niles Hall community center. No current opening or rent is shown. Do not confuse this named development with the directory's separate, unlinked market-rate 'Union Street' label. Source https://doverhousingauthority.org/union-court/ Applications and conflicting list status: DHA's https://doverhousingauthority.org/apply-now/ headline says “All Open Except HCV,” while the same page's FAQ says waiting lists are closed until further notice. Its https://doverhousingauthority.org/eligibility/ page says waiting lists are currently closed, and its https://doverhousingauthority.org/applicant-faqs/ still gives generic online/paper application steps. These published statements CONFLICT; neither a page heading nor a generic instruction establishes which property or program is accepting applications on September 29, 2026. Confirm the exact list and current intake method with DHA at 603-742-5804 or applications@doverhousingauthority.org before submitting. The FAQ says applying costs nothing, online applicants should receive a confirmation if successfully added, paper applications take about two weeks to process, applicants must update contact/household details, DHA does not provide queue positions, and waits can range from a year to several years. DHA says it has no emergency housing; it refers people to NH-211 and Strafford County Community Action. A list being open would still not imply an apartment is vacant. Eligibility and screening: DHA's https://doverhousingauthority.org/eligibility/ describes program-dependent income, citizenship/eligible immigration, Social Security verification, background screening, occupancy and other rules, and offers reasonable accommodations/language assistance. Addison Place's property page explicitly mentions criminal background and landlord references; do not generalize its LIHTC chart to every DHA property. https://doverhousingauthority.org/programs/ distinguishes public housing, project-based vouchers, HCV and LIHTC: a DHA-owned/managed property is not automatically governed by one identical rent calculation or eligibility standard. No fetched page establishes that a specific conviction is approved or disqualified at every property; ask for the current written property/program policy.
