Local housing resources

KEENE HOUSING LINKED DIRECTORY AND SCATTERED SITES — KEENE: https://keenehousing.org/apply-for-housing/properties/ advertises MORE THAN 550 owned/managed affordable units throughout Keene and Swanzey, not necessarily all pictured or currently vacant. Its FOURTEEN linked named property pages represent FIFTEEN primary property records here only because the combined Brookbend East/West page explicitly gives two addresses and separate 40/35-unit counts. These fifteen property-page counts sum to 546; do NOT equate that subtotal with the full '550+' agency portfolio. Its additional https://keenehousing.org/scattered-sites/ photo directory identifies 11 Keene and 3 Marlborough address groups with no site-by-site unit counts; do NOT add those as fourteen known units. The linked directory is not the exhaustive agency portfolio described in the https://keenehousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/KH_TSOP-Plan_2026-.pdf, which names some further programs without individual directory pages. Reviewed September 29, 2026. 1. Ash Brook Apartments (24 units) — Twenty-four one-bedroom homes at the 191–195 Key Road ADDRESS RANGE, not a single verified entrance. Page labels both family and senior/disability housing without a specific age minimum; 80% AMI income eligibility is displayed. All utilities included; on-site laundry, parking, patios/gazebo, gardens and bus access. Official page https://keenehousing.org/ash-brook-apartments/ 2. Bennett Block (14 units) — Fourteen downtown studio, one- and two-bedroom homes at 32 Washington Street. The page labels family and senior/disability housing without an age minimum, and lists 80% AMI income eligibility. It says all utilities included, elevator, laundry on every floor, bus access and NO parking; the 2026 update form only specifies electricity included, so confirm the utility package. Official page https://keenehousing.org/bennett-block/ 3. Brookbend East (40 units) — East HALF of the Brookbend East & West directory entry: 40 family apartments at 27 Ivy Drive, with two- and three-bedroom layouts. Do not add these 40 again on top of the combined 75. Laundry hookups, parking, playground, gardens, patios and bus access; tenants pay electricity according to the 2026 update form. The property page shows 50–80% AMI, while the 2026 tenant-selection plan separates HUD, tax-credit and project-based-voucher income rules. Verify the appropriate unit/program. Official page https://keenehousing.org/brookbend-east-brookbend-west/ 4. Brookbend West (35 units) — West HALF of the Brookbend East & West directory entry: 35 family apartments at 82 Meadow Road, with two- and three-bedroom layouts. Do not add these 35 again on top of the combined 75. Laundry hookups, parking, playground, gardens, patios and bus access; tenants pay electricity according to the 2026 update form. The property page shows 50–80% AMI, while the 2026 tenant-selection plan separates HUD, tax-credit and project-based-voucher income rules. Verify the appropriate unit/program. Official page https://keenehousing.org/brookbend-east-brookbend-west/ 5. Central Square Terrace (90 units) — Ninety studio and one-bedroom homes at 5 Central Square for people 62+ OR people with disabilities. Property page displays 60% AMI, but the 2026 tenant-selection plan describes 50%-AMI HUD income testing and additional tax-credit limits; confirm the applicable unit's current cap. Utilities included; elevators, laundry on several floors, community room/Wi-Fi and limited covered parking. Official page https://keenehousing.org/central-square-terrace/ 6. Cottage Street (3 units) — Three accessible-feature family apartments at 71, 73 and 75 Cottage Street, each a DISTINCT address; do not pin all three at one doorway. Two- and three-bedroom homes; 50% AMI displayed. Smoke-free, tenant-paid electricity, laundry hookups, off-street parking, individual outdoor storage sheds and community gardens. Official page https://keenehousing.org/cottage-street/ 7. Forest View Apartments (38 units) — Thirty-eight two- and three-bedroom family homes across 8–28 Harmony Lane, a RANGE rather than a single entrance. Page shows 80% AMI. Utilities and central heat/AC included; laundry hookups, parking, playground, gardens, community center/Wi-Fi and youth activities. Official page https://keenehousing.org/forest-view-apartments/ 8. Harper Acres (112 units) — 112 studio, one- and two-bedroom homes across 104–169 Castle Street AND 109 Ashuelot Street; do not map all apartments to one doorway. Page labels family and senior/disability housing without a numeric age minimum; 80% AMI displayed. Utilities included, two laundries, parking, garden and community rooms/Wi-Fi. Upper-floor apartments use stairs. Official page https://keenehousing.org/harper-acres/ 9. Meadow Road Apartments (18 units) — Eighteen family apartments with two or three bedrooms across 72, 74 and 76 Meadow Road; no single address stands for every home. Page shows 80% AMI. Tenants pay electricity; laundry hookups, storage, parking and green space. These addresses are DISTINCT from Brookbend West at 82 Meadow Road. Official page https://keenehousing.org/meadow-road-apartments/ 10. North & Gilsum Street Apartments (29 units) — Twenty-nine three- and four-bedroom family apartments across North AND Gilsum streets. The page heading gives 28 North Street but does not establish that every home is at that entrance; its walkability link points to 112 Gilsum Street. Do not pin the entire group to either. Page shows 80% AMI. Utilities included; laundry hookups, parking, patios, playground, community gardens, community center/Wi-Fi and youth activities. Official page https://keenehousing.org/north-gilsum-street-apartments/ 11. Roosevelt East (30 units) — Thirty one- and two-bedroom apartments at 438 Washington Street. Its page also calls it Roosevelt School Apartments and labels family and senior/disability housing without a numeric age minimum; 60% median income displayed. Utilities and AC included, elevator, laundry, parking, community Wi-Fi/garden, three ADA-accessible units and six AIP units WITHIN the 30 (not 9 extra apartments). A March 20, 2026 notice invited applications and projected June–August 2026 leasing; that dated notice does not confirm a vacancy or current openings in September. Official page https://keenehousing.org/roosevelt-east/ 12. Stone Arch Family Housing (24 units) — Twenty-four two- and three-bedroom family townhouses at 829 Court Street (separate from KH's 831 Court Street OFFICE and 835 Court Street senior building).

Stone Arch Senior Housing (33 units) — Thirty-three one- and two-bedroom apartments at 835 Court Street. The property page says the HEAD of household must be 55+ and lists 50–60% AMI. The 2026 tenant-selection plan calls Stone Arch Village Senior '55 years and older OR disabled' in its portfolio table, while its waitlist section is less clear about disability-only qualification; confirm directly. Utilities included; elevator, laundry, parking, sitting rooms and community Wi-Fi.

KH keeps separate property lists, while scattered-site applicants select a TOWN, not a specific property. Download the https://keenehousing.org/apply-for-housing/ pre-application and submit to the 831 Court Street, Keene, NH 03431 MAIN OFFICE, by mail or email apply@keenehousing.org; phone 603-352-6161.

Chapter 4's general FIVE-year suitability-history review DOES NOT state that all felony exclusions expire after five years. Chapter 4 also says applicants may provide context (time elapsed, severity, age, mitigation) and request an informal review of adverse information; discretion is not guaranteed approval. The https://keenehousing.org/apply-for-housing/applicant-faqs/ still links an older 2024 plan, so use the newer 2026 document for policy context and request current written property/program-specific rules from KH. Rents, programs and eligibility: https://keenehousing.org/apply-for-housing/applicant-faqs/ says tenants USUALLY pay around 30% of monthly income, WITH exceptions; it does not quote a fixed rent or make every unit the same subsidy program.
