HACM MILWAUKEE 27-PROPERTY DIRECTORY REVIEW — HACM https://www.hacm.org/our-properties/search-all-properties, reviewed September 30, 2026, has 27 Milwaukee facility records in two pages. Five multi-site groups are unpinned because directory/contact addresses do not identify each home.
General public-housing and selected PBV lists are open while tenant-based HCV is closed; the authority separately takes applications for three affordable market-rate developments. Open lists are not vacancies or felony acceptance. See Milwaukee city resources for source-linked details and conflicts.
MADISON CDA PUBLIC MULTIFAMILY 19-ROW REVIEW — CDA https://www.cityofmadison.com/dpced/housing/applicants/find-properties/public-multifamily, reviewed September 30, 2026, lists 19 Madison public/multifamily housing rows; 14 have street ranges, multiple addresses or undisclosed scattered locations and are not pinned to one residence. The agency's 742 public-housing and 115 multifamily totals are portfolio-wide, not vacancies.
Check each program's current waitlist; tenant-based Section 8 intake is closed. No felony acceptance is established.
GREEN BAY GBHA BCHA 50-GALLERY-ADDRESS REVIEW — Green Bay Housing Services https://www.greenbaywi.gov/552/Housing-Services identifies Mason Manor and GBHA Scattered Sites; the latter claims 48 homes/duplexes but official undated East/West photo galleries caption 50 distinct addresses. Treat those addresses as unverified leads, not current vacancies.
BCHA https://bchousingauthority.org/housing-choice-voucher-program/ has closed tenant-based HCV intake but open selected PBV lists; its https://bchousingauthority.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/BCHA-Preliminary-Application-05.2026.pdf identifies Bay City Lofts at 2510 University Ave with special eligibility. See Green Bay city resources for the address count conflict, housing options and screening scope.
RACINE COUNTY SIX-PBV DIRECTORY REVIEW — RCHA https://www.rcha.org/pbv.aspx lists six project-based housing properties: five in Racine and Levi Barnes Manor in Waterford. Its https://www.rcha.org/waitlist.aspx table marks all six named lists closed despite application links on the directory. Site eligibility differs; neither the list nor RCHA's HCV guidance establishes a current vacancy or blanket felony acceptance.
See Racine and Waterford resources for the source-linked details.
APPLETON AHA FOUR-HOUSING-PROGRAM REVIEW — AHA https://appletonhousing.org/applicationsforms/, reviewed September 30, 2026, links Grand View Townhomes, Oneida Heights, Riverwalk Place and a 48-unit scattered-site public-housing program in Appleton. The first three have published residential addresses; the dispersed homes have none and are unpinned.
Applications and rank-check links do not establish a current open list, vacancy or felony acceptance. See Appleton resources for linked property and dated form details.
OSHKOSH WINNEBAGO EIGHT-HOUSING-OPTIONS REVIEW — https://ohawcha.org/rent-from-us/, reviewed September 30, 2026, lists five distinct Oshkosh buildings, Fox View in Omro and Riverside Commons in Winneconne, plus one dispersed family-housing program serving Oshkosh, Neenah and Menasha. Only Waite Rug Place has a numbered residential street in the reviewed authority property directory.
Fox View's directory claims 31 units (30 one-bedroom, one two-bedroom), while its detail says thirty one-bedroom. https://ohawcha.org/apply-online/ says all waiting lists CLOSED despite continuous-intake text on the directory. No current vacancy or felony acceptance is established; see each city resource for details.
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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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.
