LEWISTON HOUSING COMMUNITY DIRECTORY — https://lewistonhousing.org/our-communities/ and https://lewistonhousing.org/apply-for-housing/, reviewed September 29, 2026. Nine distinct community-directory entries: Healy Terrace, Blake Street Towers, Meadowview Park, Hillview Apartments, Lafayette Park, Rosedale Acres, scattered sites, 292 Bates Street and the two-address 30 & 31 River Street group.

The directory conflicts with the application page on Healy Terrace (81 vs 80 Ash Street) and Hillview (77 Rideout Avenue vs 77 Rideout Street); neither is mapped to a single street until confirmed. Market-rate NOAH homes at Bates and River Street are not assumed to be income-based subsidized units.

Lewiston Housing's https://lewistonhousing.org/apply-for-housing/ says all of its rental housing currently has a waiting list, with estimated waits varying between one and five years depending on location and unit size; this is not a promise of a vacancy or of acceptance onto every site-specific list.

It supplies online pre-applications for seven of the nine directory entries above but not Lafayette Park or the Scattered Sites group. The authority's contact number is 207-783-1423; its PO Box 361 mailing address is not a residence. Neither reviewed page gives conviction-specific acceptance criteria. Contact the operator for current intake, unit availability and written screening policy.

Healy Terrace — Lewiston Housing says this restored former children's home provides 32 affordable homes for seniors and mixes low-income housing tax credit, HOME and project-based voucher funding. Its community directory says 81 Ash Street, but the rental application page says 80 Ash Street; these are different street numbers, so no residence is pinned until Lewiston Housing resolves them.

The application page lists studio, one- and two-bedroom homes and a head-of-household age threshold of 55+, with rent described as 30% of adjusted gross income. These are site and program claims, not 32 available apartments. Online pre-application: https://app.havenconnect.com/form/f805334a-7672-4b9e-8c3c-e4930847338f. Sources: https://lewistonhousing.org/our-communities/, https://lewistonhousing.org/apply-for-housing/.

Blake Street Towers — Lewiston Housing says it built this public-housing tower in the early 1960s and that it contains 97 apartments for seniors and people with disabilities at 70 Blake Street, Lewiston. The application page lists studios and one-bedroom homes, eligibility for a head of household age 62+ or disabled, and rent based on 30% of adjusted gross income. The 97 is the property total, not a current vacancy count.

Online pre-application: https://app.havenconnect.com/form/2523de4a-a1f7-4cee-bbaa-826b2b2ea9cc. Sources: https://lewistonhousing.org/our-communities/, https://lewistonhousing.org/apply-for-housing/.

Meadowview Park — Lewiston Housing identifies its largest campus at 23 Spofford Street, near St. Mary's Hospital and Bates College. Its directory says Meadowview Park is home to 152 seniors and people with disabilities; that is a resident description, not an asserted count of available apartments. The community building has a bingo hall, computer lab and resident resources.

The application page calls it Meadowview and lists studios and one-bedroom homes, eligibility for a head of household age 62+ or disabled, and rent based on 30% of adjusted gross income. Online pre-application: https://app.havenconnect.com/form/f1c59902-0472-4ba7-8771-825c1c7a0df3. Sources: https://lewistonhousing.org/our-communities/, https://lewistonhousing.org/apply-for-housing/.

Hillview Apartments — Lewiston Housing describes 94 non-age-restricted apartments with gardens, basketball courts, a baseball field and a community center hosting youth programs, including YMCA afterschool activities, Promise Early Education and 4-H. The directory locates Hillview at 77 Rideout Avenue; its application page instead says 77 Rideout Street. Until the street suffix is confirmed, the residence is unpinned.

The application page lists two- through five-bedroom homes and rent based on 30% of adjusted gross income. The 94 is a property count, not vacancies. Online pre-application: https://app.havenconnect.com/form/1fbd4499-5332-44e7-85aa-ce901ebfb1fd. Sources: https://lewistonhousing.org/our-communities/, https://lewistonhousing.org/apply-for-housing/.

Lafayette Park — Lewiston Housing's community directory says Lafayette Park provides 30 homes to families at 85 Lafayette Street, Lewiston. The reviewed rental application page does not name Lafayette Park or publish a property-specific application link, bedroom mix, rent, amenities or waiting-list status for this site. Ask the agency which application applies; the 30 homes are not a live vacancy count.

No named pre-application on the reviewed page. Sources: https://lewistonhousing.org/our-communities/, https://lewistonhousing.org/apply-for-housing/.

Rosedale Acres — Lewiston Housing's directory identifies 30 family homes at 200 Rosedale Street, Lewiston. Its application page calls the site non-age-restricted, lists one- and two-bedroom homes and says rent is based on 30% of adjusted gross income. The 30 is the community total, not currently available homes. Online pre-application: https://app.havenconnect.com/form/5f97e143-e628-42b1-bcb1-727ccb00ca1f.

Sources: https://lewistonhousing.org/our-communities/, https://lewistonhousing.org/apply-for-housing/.

Lewiston Housing Scattered Sites — Lewiston Housing describes single-family and multi-family houses at multiple addresses around Lewiston, many near downtown. Its directory gives no individual home addresses, unit count, bedroom mix, rent or site-specific application link. This is one unpinned portfolio-group record, not one building at the authority's mailing address or an additional named apartment complex.

No named pre-application on the reviewed page. Sources: https://lewistonhousing.org/our-communities/, https://lewistonhousing.org/apply-for-housing/.

292 Bates Street — Lewiston Housing places eight naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH) homes next to the B Street Community Center at 292 Bates Street.

Its application page calls the site non-age-restricted market-rate housing, lists one- and three-bedroom units, and says rent is not based on income; a minimum-income rule or voucher may apply. “Affordable price” on the directory is not a quoted rent, and eight homes do not imply eight vacancies. Online pre-application: https://app.havenconnect.com/form/3574f08d-c818-4dc7-b772-4ad9dc59d6f9.

Sources: https://lewistonhousing.org/our-communities/, https://lewistonhousing.org/apply-for-housing/.

30 & 31 River Street — Lewiston Housing calls these River Street Apartments at 30 and 31 River Street in Lewiston's Little Canada neighborhood, overlooking the Androscoggin River beside Lionel Potvin Park. These are two separate numbered locations on one directory entry, not one entrance for every home, so the group is unpinned.

Its application page lists one-, two- and three-bedroom non-age-restricted market-rate homes, with rent not based on income and a minimum-income rule or voucher eligibility. Neither page gives a unit count, price or vacancy. Online pre-application: https://app.havenconnect.com/form/17bbd6a0-961b-4f9d-9238-6b5b9f781590.

BANGORHOUSING CAPEHART CRESTWOOD NASON PARK — Capehart https://bangorhousing.org/capehart/, Crestwood Place https://bangorhousing.org/crestwood/ and Nason Park Manor https://bangorhousing.org/nason-park/, reviewed September 29, 2026.

Three distinct public-housing leads in Bangor: Capehart is a multi-street two-/three-bedroom family group without a single residential map address; Crestwood and Nason Park each have a source-identified one-bedroom building. The pages' 2025 income-limit tables are dated and should not be interpreted as current rents or openings.

All three linked BangorHousing pages state their property waitlists are closed to new applications as reviewed September 29, 2026. Each still links https://www.pha-web.com/portals/onlineApplication/1708, but the presence of a generic application button does not override a property-specific closure notice.

Ask the leasing team at 207-942-6365 whether any list has reopened, for current income limits and rent, and for the applicable written criminal-history screening policy. None of these pages confirms a vacant unit or that any particular conviction is accepted.

Capehart — BangorHousing describes Capehart as two- and three-bedroom family public housing in Bangor, Maine, with a head-of-household minimum age of 18.

Its site page names Deer Isle Road, Dirigo Drive (2–8), Downeast Circle, Finson Road, Mount Desert Drive, Acadia Place, Bald Mountain Drive, Blue Hill East, Davis Road, Fort Knox Avenue, Moosehead Boulevard (1–95) and Rangeley Place as property-management areas, not a complete numbered residence list.

This is one multi-street community record, not separate apartments on each street; no single residence address or unit count is established. The page's 2025 household income-limit table lists $66,200 (two people), $74,450 (three), $82,700 (four), $89,350 (five) and $95,950 (six). Those are dated eligibility figures, not rents or current limits. Leasing: 207-942-6365.

Its banner explicitly says the Capehart waitlist is closed to new applications despite the still-visible Apply link. Source: https://bangorhousing.org/capehart/.

Crestwood Place — BangorHousing identifies one-bedroom elderly (62+) or disabled public housing at 812 Ohio Street, Bangor ME 04401, with a head-of-household minimum age of 18; the age-62 threshold does not exclude otherwise eligible disabled applicants.

Its public notice says the Housing Authority of the City of Bangor manages Crestwood Place for Bangor Housing Development Corporation and that its waiting list closed at noon on March 4, 2025, pending further notice. The current page banner also marks it closed, despite the still-visible Apply link. Its 2025 income-limit table lists $57,900 for one person and $66,200 for two; verify newer limits with leasing at 207-942-6365.

No vacancy, current rent or individual conviction-screening decision is stated. Source: https://bangorhousing.org/crestwood/.

Nason Park Manor — BangorHousing identifies Nason Park Manor as one-bedroom elderly (62+) or disabled public housing at 140 Hancock Street, Bangor ME 04401, with a head-of-household minimum age of 18. Its current page banner says the waiting list is closed and not accepting new applications, even though the page retains an Apply link.

The 2025 income-limit table lists $57,900 for one person and $66,200 for two; these are dated eligibility figures, not rents or verified current limits. Leasing: 207-942-6365. The page does not state a vacancy or conviction-specific approval rule. Source: https://bangorhousing.org/nason-park/.

SOUTH PORTLAND HOUSING AUTHORITY RECONCILED COMMUNITIES — SPHA housing pages reviewed September 29, 2026. The older https://spha.net/housing/ calls the three main buildings plus 96 scattered homes public housing and says the lists typically open twice yearly.

The newer https://spha.net/spha-housing/ describes the three buildings as 250 project-based-voucher (PBV) units with one shared list and separately lists 42 scattered-site PBV and 54 RAD PBV units, all marked “Accepting Applications!” These are application-list claims, not promises of vacant apartments.

Do not treat the older 96-unit public-housing label as a separate current inventory or assume its listed addresses exactly match the newer PBV rosters. Nine distinct published leads: St. Cyr Court, Landry Village and Hazard Towers in one combined PBV waitlist; a 42-unit scattered PBV group; a separate 54-unit RAD PBV group; Mill Cove; Adam Court; Ridgeland Estates; and Betsy Ross House.

Landry Village, Adam Court, both scattered groups and Betsy Ross House are unpinned because their sources describe address ranges, multiple locations or a conflicting address suffix.

SPHA's current waiting-list roster https://spha.net/spha-housing/ marks the listed programs as accepting applications; its pre-application https://spha.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/N-EW-Pre-Application-PACKET-REVISED-01.2026.pdf is effective January 1–December 31, 2026.

The packet requires a complete signed form and supporting documents and says all applicants are screened for criminal records; it asks whether any household member has been convicted. It does NOT establish automatic acceptance or rejection for a particular conviction. It says lists are prioritized by applicable preferences and application date/time; SPHA does not give queue positions.

The office at 100 Waterman Drive, Suite 101 is for applications/contact, not a residence. Call 207-773-4140 to confirm up-to-date intake, current rent, and written screening criteria.

St. Cyr Court — SPHA locates St. Cyr Court at 1700 Broadway, South Portland and lists 100 homes, including 10 accessible units. The newer PBV guidance and 2026 pre-application describe one- and two-bedroom homes with a preference for applicants age 62+ or disabled adults age 18+, rent at 30% of adjusted household income, and water, heat, electricity and gas included. The older housing page calls St.

Cyr public housing; the current roster lists it with Hazard Towers and Landry Village as a 250-unit PBV program. All three use ONE combined PBV waiting list; SPHA says applicants cannot request a specific building or unit. The current roster says applications are accepted for the shared list, not that a St. Cyr apartment is vacant.

Landry Village — SPHA lists 50 homes at Landry Village, including five accessible units. Its effective-2026 pre-application gives a range of 1–50 Landry Circle, South Portland; that is not one numbered building entrance, so this group is unpinned.

The current PBV guidance describes one- and two-bedroom homes, a preference for people age 62+ or disabled adults age 18+, rent at 30% of adjusted household income, and water, heat, electricity and gas included. The older housing page calls Landry Village public housing; the newer roster lists it under PBV. It shares ONE waiting list with St.

Cyr Court and Hazard Towers; SPHA says applicants cannot choose an individual building or unit. The current roster accepts applications to that list, not necessarily a vacancy here. Sources: https://spha.net/housing/, https://spha.net/spha-housing/, https://spha.net/spha-housing/public-housing-program/, https://spha.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/N-EW-Pre-Application-PACKET-REVISED-01.2026.pdf.

Hazard Towers — SPHA locates this elevator building at 425 Broadway, South Portland and lists 100 units, including five accessible units. The effective-2026 packet distinguishes efficiencies (preference for applicants age 55+ or disabled) from one- and two-bedroom homes (preference for people age 62+ or disabled adults age 18+). PBV rent is 30% of adjusted household income with water, heat, electricity and gas included.

The older page calls it public housing, while the newer roster places it in the 250-unit PBV group with St. Cyr Court and Landry Village. Those buildings share ONE waiting list and applicants cannot request a specific building or unit. Accepting an application does not establish a vacant tower apartment.

Sources: https://spha.net/housing/, https://spha.net/spha-housing/, https://spha.net/spha-housing/public-housing-program/, https://spha.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/N-EW-Pre-Application-PACKET-REVISED-01.2026.pdf.

SPHA Scattered Sites PBV — The current SPHA roster identifies a 42-unit scattered-site PBV group for two-, three- and four-bedroom homes, with a preference for families with minor children or dependents.

The linked page lists homes on Preble, Broadway, Westbrook, Sawyer, Kincaid, Cole, Rainbow, Elmwood, Hill, Free and Grandview streets/avenues; its individual site counts add to 42 even though its introductory sentence says 54 were converted in August 2022. It identifies 576 and 578 Sawyer Street, whereas the older scattered-site list gives 576 and 578 Main Street; do not pin that conflicting pair.

This is ONE unpinned multi-location and shared-list record, not 42 separate available apartments. SPHA says applicants on this list cannot request an individual property. Rent is 30% of adjusted income with water, heat, electricity and gas included. The newer roster says its list accepts applications.

Sources: https://spha.net/housing/, https://spha.net/spha-housing/, https://spha.net/spha-housing/scattered-site-project-based-voucher-units/, https://spha.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/N-EW-Pre-Application-PACKET-REVISED-01.2026.pdf.

SPHA RAD Scattered Sites PBV — The newer SPHA roster separately lists 54 RAD PBV scattered-site units converted from public housing in December 2022. The linked roster breaks them down as 12 homes at 225 Broadway, 12 at 231 Broadway, 12 at 235 Broadway, 10 at 73 Hill Street and eight across 53–60 Landry Circle.

These are distinct residential sites on ONE RAD group waiting list, not one building address; SPHA says applicants cannot request a specific property or unit. The packet describes one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, a preference for families with children at most locations and a preference for elderly or disabled applicants at 235 Broadway. Rent is 30% of adjusted household income with water, heat, electricity and gas included.

Its list is marked accepting applications, not vacant. Sources: https://spha.net/housing/, https://spha.net/spha-housing/, https://spha.net/housing/rad-scattered-sites-project-based-voucher-units/, https://spha.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/N-EW-Pre-Application-PACKET-REVISED-01.2026.pdf.

Mill Cove Apartments — SPHA lists Mill Cove as an 82-unit, six-story building at 10 Soule Street in South Portland's Mill Creek area, near transit, shopping, banking and Mill Creek Park; some apartments face the Portland skyline. One- and two-bedroom units serve very-low-income applicants age 62+ or disabled adults age 18+, with accessible units available.

Rent is 30% of adjusted household income; the older housing page says water, heat, electricity and gas are included, and the 2026 pre-application confirms utilities included. The current roster says its waiting list accepts applications, which is not evidence of a vacancy.

Sources: https://spha.net/housing/, https://spha.net/spha-housing/, https://spha.net/spha-housing/mill-cove/, https://spha.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/N-EW-Pre-Application-PACKET-REVISED-01.2026.pdf.

Adam Court — SPHA describes ten two-bedroom, fully accessible homes at Adam Court next to Landry Village. The older page gives “Landry Circle” without a residence number; its effective-2026 pre-application instead says 1–10 Adam Court, South Portland. That is a range of homes, not a single entrance to pin. The packet says applicants must be disabled and require an accessible unit.

HUD income guidelines apply; rent is 30% of adjusted income with water, heat, electricity and gas included. The current roster says the Adam Court list accepts applications, not that one of the ten homes is vacant. Sources: https://spha.net/housing/, https://spha.net/spha-housing/, https://spha.net/spha-housing/adam-court-2/, https://spha.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/N-EW-Pre-Application-PACKET-REVISED-01.2026.pdf.

Ridgeland Estates — SPHA places Ridgeland Estates at 109 Ridgeland Avenue and describes 80 one-bedroom homes in a three-story income-restricted building for people age 55+, with some accessible apartments. Its older housing page quotes $500 or $600 per month; the newer property page quotes $675 and $775; the effective-2026 pre-application quotes $710–$815 with utilities included and vouchers accepted.

These figures conflict across SPHA's pages, so ask the operator for a current unit-specific rent rather than treating an old price as a live offer. The current roster says the list accepts applications; it does not verify a vacancy.

Sources: https://spha.net/housing/, https://spha.net/spha-housing/, https://spha.net/spha-housing/ridgeland/, https://spha.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/N-EW-Pre-Application-PACKET-REVISED-01.2026.pdf.

Betsy Ross House — SPHA lists Betsy Ross House as 123 one-bedroom homes for people age 62+ with affordable and market-rate units, plus project-based-voucher units on the newer roster. The housing and property pages say 99 Preble Street Ext., but its effective-2026 pre-application says 99 Preble Street; this street-suffix conflict needs confirmation before pinning.

The property page describes independent living, a noon three-course meal, salon, library and access to Spring Point Lighthouse, Bug Light Park and the Greenbelt. The 2026 packet lists $700–$1,125 rent for its affordable option, utilities included, vouchers accepted and an optional meal plan for an additional monthly fee; a separate PBV option lists rent at 30% of adjusted income. Confirm which program and actual price apply.

Its list accepts applications, not proof of a vacancy. Sources: https://spha.net/housing/, https://spha.net/spha-housing/, https://spha.net/spha-housing/betsy-ross-house/, https://spha.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/N-EW-Pre-Application-PACKET-REVISED-01.2026.pdf.

BIDDEFORD HOUSING SMAH PROPERTIES — https://www.bhousing.org/properties.aspx cross-checked with https://www.bhousing.org/applications.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/documents/smahApplication.pdf, https://www.bhousing.org/pbv.aspx on September 29, 2026.

Eleven distinct Biddeford residences/leads: three Mission Hill properties, Adam's Point, Parish Place, 46 Sullivan, 26 South, 66 South youth transitional housing and three smaller PBV sites. Adam's Point appears in TWO directory categories but is ONE 39-unit building with different program options; do not count it twice. The 46 Sullivan body conflicts with its heading and application (6 versus 46), so it is unpinned.

The directory places an eight-unit Caring Unlimited domestic-violence set-aside note after 26 South, but 26 South is explicitly four residential units; clarify the attribution with BH rather than multiplying this site's count. Although the overview mentions Saco, every listed address in this directory is in Biddeford.

The revised April 1, 2026 https://www.bhousing.org/documents/smahApplication.pdf offers separate property/program choices for Mission Hill Convent, St. Andre's and Adam's Point, and states that 41 Birch, 46 Sullivan and 26 South have no standing lists; the directory independently limits Rectory and the three small PBV sites to applications when a unit becomes available.

The property operator's https://www.bhousing.org/applications.aspx links that packet, distinct from the centralized tenant-based Section 8 waitlist. https://www.bhousing.org/pbv.aspx explains that PBV applications and preferences can be property-specific.

The SMAH packet says all applicants are screened for criminal records but gives no conviction-specific automatic acceptance or rejection rule; applicants may request the Admissions Plan. Call 207-282-6537 to confirm current application access, rent, vacancies and written screening standards. SMAH's 22 South Street office is not the 26 or 66 South Street residence.

Mission Hill – Convent — The Convent at 41 Sullivan Street, Biddeford ME 04005 has 15 studios and one-bedroom apartments for people age 55+. The directory calls them HUD-guideline income-based homes with income restrictions and a waiting list; the revised April 2026 SMAH pre-application lists affordable-unit starting rents of $1,123 for studios and $1,203 for one bedrooms, with electricity not included and vouchers accepted.

Verify the exact program and rent for an offered unit. The directory lists heat, hot water and shared Wi-Fi included; accessible homes, laundry, secure/video-monitored building, nearby bus service, parking, an outdoor smoking area, open space and gardens. The dated application offers a property-specific waiting-list selection, not a vacant apartment.

Mission Hill – St. Andre’s — St. Andre's at 39 Sullivan Street, Biddeford ME 04005 has 35 studios and one-bedroom apartments for people age 55+. The directory calls them HUD-guideline income-based homes with income restrictions and a waiting list; the revised April 2026 SMAH pre-application lists affordable-unit starting rents of $813 for studios and $871 for one bedrooms, with electricity not included and vouchers accepted.

Confirm the actual rent/program with management. Listed features include an on-site management office, community room, accessible homes, heat, hot water and common Wi-Fi included, laundry, secure/video-monitored building, bus access, parking, outdoor smoking area, open space and gardens. A waiting list is not a vacancy.

Sources: https://www.bhousing.org/properties.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/applications.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/documents/smahApplication.pdf, https://www.bhousing.org/pbv.aspx.

Mission Hill – Rectory — The Rectory at 73 Bacon Street, Biddeford ME 04005 has three income-restricted homes: one studio, one two-bedroom and one four-bedroom, plus first-floor community room space. The directory lists heat, hot water and electricity included, in-unit laundry hookups, a secure/video-monitored building, nearby bus service and parking; it is smoke-free.

Its page says applications are accepted ONLY when a unit becomes available. This is not an open, continuous three-unit waiting list or proof of a current opening. Sources: https://www.bhousing.org/properties.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/applications.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/documents/smahApplication.pdf, https://www.bhousing.org/pbv.aspx.

Adam’s Point — The directory lists Adam's Point twice, once as mixed income and once as project-based vouchers, but both entries describe the SAME 39-unit building at 69 Adams Street, Biddeford ME 04005, presented as new construction in spring 2026. It describes one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units in the property overall, without assigning every size to each funding type.

The revised April 2026 pre-application lists affordable one-/two-bedroom rents starting at $1,203/$1,444 with utilities included and vouchers accepted, plus separate PBV one-/two-/three-bedroom options at 30% of adjusted income with utilities included. Verify actual availability, rents, eligibility and which bedroom sizes are in each program.

Amenities listed: on-site management, community room, accessible homes, heat, hot water, electricity and internet included, bike storage, secure/video-monitored building, laundry, bus access, parking, smoke-free property, outdoor space and views from many units. The directory describes a waiting list, not vacancies.

Sources: https://www.bhousing.org/properties.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/applications.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/documents/smahApplication.pdf, https://www.bhousing.org/pbv.aspx.

Parish Place — Parish Place at 41 Birch Street, Biddeford ME 04005 has 47 affordable-market-rental studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments. The directory describes an on-site management office, community room, secure/video-monitored building, heat and hot water included, laundry, nearby bus service and parking; it is smoke-free.

Its directory says applications are accepted only when units become available, and the revised April 2026 SMAH pre-application explicitly says 41 Birch Street has NO standing waiting list. Neither source confirms a vacancy or a current rent. Sources: https://www.bhousing.org/properties.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/applications.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/documents/smahApplication.pdf, https://www.bhousing.org/pbv.aspx.

46 Sullivan Street — The directory heading and property photo label identify “46 Sullivan Street,” and the revised April 2026 SMAH pre-application also lists 46 Sullivan Street, Biddeford; however, the directory's body gives “6 Sullivan Street.” Until management resolves the conflicting numbered residence addresses, this two-unit property is unpinned.

The directory says one two-bedroom and one three-bedroom income-restricted apartment, with heat and hot water included, community room, secure/video-monitored building, in-unit laundry hookups, bus access, parking and smoke-free premises. Both directory and pre-application say there is NO standing waiting list: applications are accepted only when a unit becomes available.

Sources: https://www.bhousing.org/properties.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/applications.aspx, https://www.bhousing.org/documents/smahApplication.pdf, https://www.bhousing.org/pbv.aspx.

26 South Street — The directory explicitly locates four residential studios and one-bedroom apartments at 26 South Street, Biddeford ME 04005, with nonprofit office space occupying the front portion of the SAME building; the office is not an additional apartment. It describes HUD-guideline income-based housing with heat, hot water and electricity included, nearby bus access, parking and a smoke-free property.

Although the directory points to the general applications page, the revised April 2026 SMAH pre-application expressly says 26 South Street has NO standing waiting list and takes applications only when a unit becomes available.

A nearby directory note claims eight domestic-violence set-asides through Caring Unlimited, which cannot be assigned to this four-home site without clarification; do not count them as eight extra units here.

66 South Street Youth Transitional Housing — The Biddeford Housing property directory identifies 66 South Street, Biddeford ME 04005 as a transitional living program for homeless youth, in partnership with and managed by Preble Street. This is a specialized housing lead, not a standard market-rate apartment or a confirmed vacancy.

The page lists heat, hot water and electricity included, bus access, parking and smoke-free premises but gives no unit count or bedroom mix. It directs applicants to Preble Street at 207-775-0026, not the usual SMAH waiting-list packet.

70 South Street — The directory lists four MaineHousing-funded project-based-voucher homes at 70 South Street, Biddeford ME 04005: studios and two-bedroom apartments, with a preference for homeless individuals/families. It lists heat and hot water included, basement storage, in-unit laundry hookups, bus access, parking and smoke-free premises.

The page says applications are accepted ONLY when units become available; it does not establish a current opening. PBV assistance attaches to the designated apartment rather than following a household to any private rental.

SANFORD HOUSING AUTHORITY FIVE APPLICANT COMMUNITIES — https://sanfordhousing.org/applicants/ and https://sanfordhousing.org/program-projects/ reviewed September 29, 2026. Five distinct SHA-managed applicant-page communities: East Side Acres, Sunset Tower, The Maples and Mayflower Place in Sanford, plus Village View in Springvale.

The 2026 maintenance source https://sanfordhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/SHA-2026-Snow-Managment-Bid.pdf gives addresses for The Maples and Mayflower Place but differs from the projects page on East Side Acres' unit count (48 versus 49). East Side Acres spans three streets and Village View spans two numbered buildings; both remain unpinned group records.

SHA's https://sanfordhousing.org/applicants/ provides a downloadable SHA property application https://sanfordhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/SHA-universal-application_Nov2024.pdf for these five named developments and says applicants may also call the office.

Its https://sanfordhousing.org/about-us/ says the waiting list is open for all complexes but that there is a wait; this establishes application intake, not vacant units or an offer to select a particular apartment. The 2024 form asks whether anyone in the household has ever been convicted of a felony and asks about other history; the question is not an automatic denial rule or proof of conviction-specific acceptance.

Confirm the current application procedure, income/occupancy rules, rent and written screening criteria with SHA at 207-324-6747. The 17 School Street Sanford office is not a dwelling address. The separately linked Section 8 pre-application is for tenant-based vouchers, not these SHA-managed residences.

East Side Acres (Sanford) — SHA's applicant page offers two-, three- and four-bedroom family housing at East Side Acres. Its project page describes nine two-story buildings, a community building and playground across Emery, Bowdoin and Bates streets in Sanford, built in 1968.

That page calls it 49 multifamily public-housing apartments and also labels its program “Project Base Voucher & HCV”; SHA's 2026 snow-management scope instead calls the same nine-building site 48 units. Both counts are source claims, not available-unit counts; confirm the current total with SHA rather than quietly choosing one.

The 2024 universal application defines East Side Acres family eligibility as a minor child in the home or a pregnant woman. This is one unpinned development group, not a single residence at SHA's administrative office or at a dated event venue address. Source: https://sanfordhousing.org/program-projects/; site reference: https://sanfordhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/SHA-2026-Snow-Managment-Bid.pdf.

Sunset Tower (Sanford) — SHA's property page places Sunset Tower at 941 Main Street, Sanford. It describes a central, bus-route-accessible, eight-story building constructed in 1970 with 72 efficiency/studio and one-bedroom apartments. The applicant page and universal application say applicants must be age 55+; the project page lists the program as project-based vouchers.

SHA does not give a current rent amount, vacancy or property-specific wait time on these pages. The 72 is a building total, not an offer of 72 available homes. Source: https://sanfordhousing.org/program-projects/; site reference: https://sanfordhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/SHA-2026-Snow-Managment-Bid.pdf.

The Maples (Sanford) — SHA's projects page describes The Maples as a three-story, 26-apartment senior building constructed in 2008 with MaineHousing tax-credit financing. The 2026 site-maintenance scope locates this 26-unit complex at 20 Mayflower Drive, Sanford, separate from Mayflower Place at 27 Mayflower Drive; this is a site address from an operational document, not a claim of a current vacancy.

Its one- and two-bedroom apartments serve people age 55+, with some ADA-accessible units, an elevator, community room, secure storage, fire alarm and sprinkler system. The 2024 universal application offers The Maples as its own property choice; current rent and specific wait time are not published here.

Source: https://sanfordhousing.org/program-projects/; site reference: https://sanfordhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/SHA-2026-Snow-Managment-Bid.pdf.

Mayflower Place (Sanford) — SHA's projects page describes Mayflower Place as 35 one-bedroom, age-55+ independent-living homes, built in 2000 with tax-credit funds, owned by Sanford Housing Development Corp. and managed/maintained by SHA. It notes accessible units.

SHA's 2026 site-maintenance scope places this 35-unit complex at 27 Mayflower Drive, Sanford, distinct from The Maples at number 20; the operational site address does not indicate availability. The 2024 universal application offers Mayflower as its own property choice, but gives no unit-specific rent or wait time.

Source: https://sanfordhousing.org/program-projects/; site reference: https://sanfordhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/SHA-2026-Snow-Managment-Bid.pdf.

Village View Apartments (Springvale) — Although SHA's applicant page groups Village View with its Sanford-area offerings, the projects page explicitly locates it on Pleasant Street in Springvale, not Sanford. It says there are 40 one- and two-bedroom homes for people age 62+ with project-based rental-assistance vouchers, in a community built in 1978.

SHA's 2026 property-maintenance scope describes two buildings at 13 and 21 Pleasant Street, Springvale; this is one named 40-unit multi-building community, not a single entrance to pin or two separate 40-unit sites. The 2024 universal application lists Village View as a property choice. No current vacancy, rent or property-specific wait time is established.

WESTBROOK HOUSING SIXTEEN PROPERTY DIRECTORY — Sixteen distinct named property-directory records in Westbrook, Maine (reviewed September 29, 2026). Some campuses have separate named buildings: Millbrook Estates at 300 East Bridge Street and Malcolm A. Noyes at 290 are separate records; the directory does not establish that their totals can be added.

The 783/789 Main Street group has two addresses, while Presumpscot Commons' 29 homes span three connected building sections; neither is a single-building map pin. Directory https://westbrookhousing.org/properties and individual property pages reviewed September 29, 2026. Application paths: https://westbrookhousing.org/apply-for-an-apartment-today/.

Return completed forms to Westbrook Housing, 30 Liza Harmon Drive, Westbrook ME 04092, or call 207-854-9779; the application page offers help/translation appointments at 207-854-6810. An application link or an OPEN waiting list is not a live vacancy.

Published prices, income caps and page wording are dated source claims subject to change; obtain current rent, income rules, openings and written screening standards from the operator. Westbrook Housing's voucher-program eligibility page is not automatically every property's screening policy, and no source establishes conviction-specific acceptance across all sixteen properties.

783 & 789 Main Street — 13 across two street numbers apartments, multifamily market-rate. One-, two- and three-bedroom homes across 783 and 789 Main Street; two addresses, so do not pin all 13 units to one entrance. The page says its waiting list is OPEN, not that a unit is vacant. A smoke-free community with off-street parking, some washer/dryer hookups, some storage, and heat/hot water included; residents pay electricity.

Site quotes $1,200–$1,600 rent and preference for Westbrook residents/workforce. It allows one small dog, cat, cage or aquarium. Market-rate application says not age-restricted. Market-rate application: https://westbrookhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Market-App-09.09.2025-2.pdf. Source: https://westbrookhousing.org/783-789-main-street.

Posted tax-credit income limits: $58,440 single/$66,780 two-person household, lower for subsidized units. HCV, BRAP and VASH accepted. Applicants for its tax-credit homes use the senior tax-credit form; applicants seeking its project-based units must use the separate subsidized form.

Do not equate a tax-credit application with a project-based referral or a vacancy. Senior tax-credit application: https://westbrookhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Tax-Credit-55Application-05-15-25.pdf. Source: https://westbrookhousing.org/dr-arthur-o-berry-apartments-at-larrabee-commons/.

The property page says some rents are subsidized at 30% of adjusted gross income, all utilities included, and tax-credit income caps of $58,440 for one/$66,780 for two. This building appears on both senior tax-credit and subsidized application lists: choose the corresponding form; the separate project-based application does not imply a vacant unit.

Millbrook Estates — 100 apartments, senior 55+, tax-credit and market-rate apartments.

Utilities included; HCV/BRAP/VASH accepted, cats/small dogs permitted. Select the senior tax-credit or market-rate form for the intended unit type. Do not sum a campus name with a building count without confirmation.

Rent is described as 30% of adjusted gross income with heat, water and sewer included; residents pay electricity with an allowance. Parking, laundry and smoke-free grounds.

Its own page says applicants must have no recent history of drug-related and/or violent criminal activity, eligible immigration status, no debt to a housing agency and no recent termination from another public-housing program. The linked voucher eligibility page is for vouchers, not automatically a policy for all other properties.

School House Commons is absent from Westbrook Housing's current four property-application lists: call 207-854-9779 to confirm whether and how it accepts applications rather than using a guessed form. No School House Commons application is identified on the current apartment-application page; confirm intake directly with Westbrook Housing.. Source: https://westbrookhousing.org/?page_id=1047.

This is a distinct 60-unit building, not 60 current openings. Senior tax-credit application: https://westbrookhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Tax-Credit-55Application-05-15-25.pdf. Source: https://westbrookhousing.org/stacymsymbol/.

Golder Commons — 26 apartments, family tax-credit housing. Twenty-six two- and three-bedroom homes at 6 Lincoln Street. The page explicitly says its waiting list is OPEN; the dedicated Golder application also says there is a waiting list.

Site quotes two-bedroom rent $1,378–$1,673 and three-bedroom $1,586–$1,926; it says household income must be at least $58,980, while the separate 2025 application provides different minimum/maximum income figures: confirm current thresholds before relying on either. Heat, water and sewer included; residents pay electricity. Vouchers welcomed.

This property page specifically says no recent history of drug-related and/or violent criminal activity, no housing-authority debt and no recent public-housing termination; its application asks about convictions and authorizes records checks. Neither source establishes a universal automatic ban for every conviction. Smoke-free with parking and laundry.

Larrabee Village — 150 apartments, age-62+ project-based subsidized senior community. One hundred fifty one-bedroom homes with kitchenettes for people age 62+ at 30 Liza Harmon Drive.

Apartments about 610 square feet; elevator, laundry, community garden and bus/trail access. The page quotes $1,217–$1,461 rent including utilities and tax-credit income ceilings of $58,440 for one/$66,780 for two. One pet under 20 pounds.

These years are construction identifiers, not street numbers.

The shared site address is 765 Main Street; individual annex/wing entrances are not confirmed, so the group remains unpinned.

AUGUSTA HOUSING NINE PROGRAM-PAGE RESIDENCES — Augusta Housing's programs page describes seven Augusta residential leads and two in Gardiner. Separate the 31-unit assisted-living Inn, address-free supportive Orchard Street program, and two Gardiner properties from standard Augusta apartment buildings.

Maple Street and Capital Village have conflicting residence numbers; Sturgeon Landing gives only Park Street; Summer Street spans several numbers. The image-only Iron Heights flyer says “coming soon” but its current manager and July 2026 opening coverage show it as a Gardiner apartment building. Augusta Housing source https://www.augustahousing.org/programs.html reviewed September 29, 2026.

Residential details and dated unit counts are leads, not live vacancy or conviction-specific acceptance claims. Apply through each listed property's manager rather than mailing a property application to Augusta Housing's office. Confirm current income limits, rents, age/occupancy rules, availability, application steps and written screening with the named operator.

Augusta Housing separately links to the Maine statewide Housing Choice Voucher/Section 8 waitlist at https://maine.affordablehousing.com/ and describes Family Self Sufficiency for voucher families (207-626-2357 ext. 9).

Its voucher-applicant FAQ https://www.augustahousing.org/faqapplicants.html says recent criminal activity involving domestic violence or drugs MAY lead to voucher denial; it is about HCV eligibility, not a blanket screening rule for every independently managed residence. The program page distinguishes tenant-based vouchers, which follow the person, from project-based vouchers attached to a unit.

Hodgkins School Apartments (Augusta) — 47 units; Augusta Housing lists 47 age-55+ homes at 17 Malta Street in the converted Hodgkins School. C&C Realty Management breaks these down as eight studios and 39 one-bedroom apartments and says it is always accepting applications, not that 47 homes are vacant. The property has laundry, a community room, healing garden, raised beds and nearby trails; small pets are allowed.

Rent includes heat, hot water and air conditioning according to Augusta Housing, and is tied to Kennebec County income limits; the manager says applicants need income of at least 2.5 times monthly rent and accepts HCV, BRAP and other subsidies. Augusta Housing reports a waiting-list preference for homeless veterans for at least 20% of units.

Apply through C&C or call the listed number; the project-based program heading does not establish that all 47 units carry project-based assistance. Source: https://www.ccrealtymanagement.com/apartment-rentals/hodgkins-school-apartments.php; https://www.augustahousing.org/programs.html.

Maple Street Apartments (Augusta) — 29 units; Twenty-nine townhome-style homes built by December 2019: fourteen one-bedroom, eight two-bedroom and seven three-bedroom; two- and three-bedroom units have 1.5 bathrooms. Augusta Housing puts the development on Sadie's Way at the end of Maple Street, C&C Realty Management calls its location 1 Sadie's Way, but Augusta Housing's 2025 Kennebec list calls it 33 Maple Street.

These may be different entrances or a source conflict; keep the 29-unit community unpinned until the residential address is confirmed. Community room, laundry, small pets, heat included; C&C says it is always accepting applications and requires a minimum income of 2.5 times monthly rent, with HCV/BRAP/other subsidies accepted. Acceptance of applications does not establish available units.

Sturgeon Landing Apartments (Augusta) — 32 units; Augusta Housing says this Park Street, Augusta development opened in May 2025; no numbered residential street address is given on its page or on the manager's current page, so do not pin it. Thirty-two homes: sixteen one-bedroom, nine two-bedroom and seven three-bedroom.

Twenty are restricted to households at or below 50% of Kennebec County area median income, twelve at or below 60%; eight of the 32 have project-based vouchers, not all 32. Heat/hot water, elevator, laundry, community room, outdoor play area/garden, bike/stroller storage, resident services and parking are listed.

C&C's page says “Now Leasing” and offers application/prescreen links, with a minimum income guideline of 2.5 times rent and HCV/BRAP/other subsidies accepted; confirm actual available unit and whether its subsidy path differs before applying.

Senior Living at Marketplace (Augusta) — 42 units; At 75 Civic Center Drive, Augusta: 42 age-55+ homes consisting of 38 one-bedroom and four two-bedroom apartments. C&C says 23 homes have rents set at 50% of area median income and 15 at 60%; these 38 rent-category units are not a complete accounting for all 42 homes, so do not assign the remaining four without confirmation.

Heat/hot water, elevator, laundry, resident coordinator, meeting area, community garden, bicycle storage and telemedicine capability are listed; pets allowed. The manager says it is always accepting applications, requires at least 2.5 times monthly rent in income and accepts HCV/BRAP/other subsidies. Contact C&C for current rent, eligibility and openings.

The Inn at City Hall (Augusta) — 31 units; The restored former City Hall at 1 Cony Street contains 31 apartments: the Inn's own site describes ten studios and 21 one-bedroom units. This is an assisted-living residence for people who need daily support, not an ordinary independent apartment offer.

MaineGeneral supplies the around-the-clock care, meal options, housekeeping and assistance; Stewart Property Management handles rental information and offers a separate application at https://stewartproperty.net/wp-content/uploads/applications/TC-ICH.pdf. Heat and hot water are included according to the Inn, with on-site laundry, activity rooms, library and patio.

Augusta Housing's program page supplies 207-623-0840 for enquiries. Confirm care needs, rent and separate care costs before applying.

Orchard Street Transitional Housing (Augusta) — unspecified units; Augusta Housing identifies an Orchard Street building in Augusta offering three-bedroom transitional homes through project-based voucher assistance alongside support for tenants. It does not give a building number or unit total, so keep this one named transitional-housing lead unpinned and do not count or invent separate apartments.

Its page directs applicants to Bread of Life Ministries at 207-626-3434 or officemanager@mainebreadoflife.org; the linked /housing/ route now shows Bread of Life's general home page, not a current property application. Confirm eligibility, referral route, location and vacancies with the ministry before traveling or applying.

Capital Village Apartments (Augusta) — 30 units; Augusta Housing describes two- and three-bedroom townhomes with heat/hot water, laundry, modern kitchens, clubhouse, garden and play space.

LaBrecque Property Corp currently calls it a 30-unit family low-income tax-credit community (households at 50% and 60% of area median income), with three mobility-accessible units, parking, pets allowed with deposit and tenant-based vouchers accepted. Its page displays “No Vacancy” and offers a “Join Waiting List” contact path, not an available apartment.

That manager page locates Capital Village at 12 Hope Way, while Augusta Housing's 2025 Kennebec list says 4 Hope Way. Do not pin all 30 homes to either number until entrance/building addresses are reconciled. Call the manager at 207-375-8694.

Summer Street Workforce Housing (Gardiner) — 15 units; This is in Gardiner, NOT Augusta. Augusta Housing identifies 15 workforce homes: three one-bedroom, nine two-bedroom and three three-bedroom apartments along the Cobbosseecontee Stream.

Manager DC Management's current Summer Street Apartments page confirms that mix and locates the group across 58, 59 and 60 Summer Street; these are multiple residence addresses and are not a single pin. DC says it is accepting applications (not promising a vacancy) with a waitlist preference for homeless individuals/families for at least 20% of units.

Its page lists singles, families and older adults, income-guideline rent, a 2.5-times-monthly-rent minimum-income rule, HCV/BRAP/other subsidy acceptance, heat included, pets and laundry.

Augusta Housing's 2025 county list instead calls 58–60 Summer Street a 15-unit one-bedroom C&C-managed property; that dated row conflicts with its own programs page and DC's current manager page, so use the current operator for application and confirm details before relying on the older roster.

Iron Heights Apartments (Gardiner) — 32 units; Augusta Housing's programs page embeds an undated Preservation Management flyer saying “Coming Soon” for one- and two-bedroom Iron Heights in Gardiner. The current manager page locates the property at 1 Summer Street and provides an application link, 207-480-1559 contact, central air, laundry, community area, patio/deck, elevator, parking and owner-paid utilities.

July 2026 reporting says the building had opened, with 32 apartments (28 one-bedroom and four two-bedroom). Treat the flyer as historical, not evidence the property is still proposed; neither opening news nor a download link proves an apartment is available now. Ask the current manager for income, rent, vacancy and written screening requirements. It is distinct from Summer Street Workforce Housing at 58–60.

A practical next step

Preparing your application

A little preparation can help you ask better questions before paying an application fee.

  • Gather proof of income (recent pay stubs, an offer letter, or bank statements).
  • Collect positive references from prior landlords or employers where possible.
  • Prepare a brief, honest explanation letter that provides context for your record.
  • Ask each property directly about its reported screening policy before paying any application fee.
  • Confirm the lookback period and which offense types a property may consider.

Frequently asked questions

What do the screening and verification statuses mean on Maine listings?

A listing's screening status describes the policy reported for that property, while its verification status describes the status of that information. Check both, along with any verification date, and contact the property directly because policies can change.

Are all Maine listings verified?

No. Unverified records may be publicly visible. Each listing displays its verification status, and a verification date appears when one is available.

Does a listing in Maine guarantee approval?

No. A listing is not a promise of acceptance. Screening policies and decisions are made by each property; contact it directly to confirm its current requirements before applying.

Where can I find state-specific guidance for Maine?

If state guidance or resources are provided on this page, review them below. This page is informational only and does not determine how a property's screening policy applies to you.
