APPLETON AHA FOUR-HOUSING-PROGRAM REVIEW — https://appletonhousing.org/applicationsforms/, reviewed September 30, 2026. Four distinct residential choices: Grand View Townhomes, 551 N. Bluemound Drive (40 townhomes, 1–3 bedrooms; https://appletonhousing.org/grand-view-townhomes/); Oneida Heights, 525 North Oneida Street (senior public housing; https://appletonhousing.org/oneida-heights/, address in dated https://appletonhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/OH-Application-10.24.2022.pdf); Riverwalk Place, 431 E. Eagle Flats Parkway (senior 62+, one-/two-bedroom application choices; https://appletonhousing.org/riverwalk-place/); and the https://appletonhousing.org/public-housing-scattered-site-housing/ scattered-site public-housing program (48 units, 1–5 bedrooms, no published home-address list; deliberately unpinned). These are inventory figures and program descriptions, not vacant apartments. The office at 925 W. Northland Avenue is for administration and scattered-site applications, NOT a fourth mapped residential entrance. The current https://appletonhousing.org/applicationsforms/ page offers program-specific paper forms, a shared https://www.pha-web.com/portals/onlineApplication/2117 application link for several programs and https://www.pha-web.com/portals/waitingListStatus/2117 to check rank; it does NOT publish an open/closed list status or site-specific vacancies. Grand View's current linked application is dated 2025 rather than the older-host PDF linked from its profile. The Oneida PDF is dated 2022, and Riverwalk and scattered-site forms are dated 2025; confirm changing eligibility and intake directly. https://appletonhousing.org/program-eligibility/ says Oneida is over 50 or under 50 with disability, while https://appletonhousing.org/riverwalk-place/ states age 62+. Screening forms ask about convictions and authorize background checks; none establishes categorical felony acceptance or automatic rejection for all sites. AHA's HCV/Section 8, FSS and homebuyer application links are assistance programs, not additional AHA apartment addresses.
