RACINE COUNTY SIX-PBV DIRECTORY REVIEW — RCHA https://www.rcha.org/pbv.aspx and https://www.rcha.org/waitlist.aspx, reviewed September 30, 2026. Six distinct project-based voucher listings: Ajax PBV (1316 16th Street, Racine, application https://www.pha-web.com/portals/onlineApplication/1766?wlWaitingListId=3102); Arabella PBV (2100 Northwestern Avenue, Racine, application https://www.pha-web.com/portals/onlineApplication/1766?wlWaitingListId=3120); Gold Medal Lofts PBV (1701 Packard Ave, Racine, application https://www.pha-web.com/portals/onlineApplication/1766?wlWaitingListId=3119); Lincoln School Apartments (1130 Carlisle Ave, Racine, application https://www.pha-web.com/portals/onlineApplication/1766?wlWaitingListId=3644); Mount Pleasant Manor PBV (2250 Layard Ave, Racine, application https://www.pha-web.com/portals/onlineApplication/1766?wlWaitingListId=3068); Levi Barnes Manor (200 South 7th St, Waterford, application https://www.pha-web.com/portals/onlineApplication/1766?wlWaitingListId=3073). Five are in Racine and Levi Barnes Manor is in WATERFORD; the authority office at 837 Main Street, Racine, WI 53403 is NOT another rental property. RCHA labels all six named property lists closed and its homepage https://www.rcha.org/ says all waiting lists are closed. Do not interpret the six “Online Application” links as openings or vacancies. The waitlist table also mentions Harbor at State & Main (55+, one/two-bedroom, homelessness/at-risk target) but it is not in this six-site PBV directory and no residential street is supplied there; it is not pinned as an extra housing record. RCHA https://www.rcha.org/waitlist.aspx calls the Lincoln School PBV list 55+/one-bedroom and the Mount Pleasant Manor PBV list 55+/one-bedroom, while the linked National Church Residences https://www.nationalchurchresidences.org/communities/mount-pleasant-manor/ property page says Mount Pleasant serves age 62+ OR disabled; confirm which occupancy rule applies. Levi Barnes https://www.rcha.org/pbv.aspx is one-bedroom for age 62+ OR disabled. RCHA's HCV guidance https://www.rcha.org/hcv.aspx assigns tenant-based landlord screening to the landlord and does not publish a blanket felony-acceptance rule for PBV sites. The income-limit PDF linked from the waitlist page is marked 2023, not a current income test. Contact HARC at (262) 636-3405 or the individual managers to verify current program, rents and screening.
