Stratford Housing Authority

Stratford Housing Authority Apartment Details

Stratford Housing Authority provides housing assistance to low income residents through the management of programs such as Low Rent Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8. These programs are income based and the eligibility requirements are set by HUD. There may be a waiting list for vouchers or rentals and at times the lists may close to new applicants due to the overwhelming need for housing assistance and the long wait time for assistance for those already on the waiting lists. If you are in need of housing assistance please contact the Housing Authority directly to obtain more information about program eligibility requirements, availability of assistance or rentals, the status of any waiting lists and their application   procedures.

The Authority owns and manages 514 family and elderly apartments, and, through the Federal Housing Choice Voucher Program, assists another 280 families residing in private apartments in the Town of Stratford. The Authority is also contracted to manage, throughout the greater Bridgeport area, in excess of 600 apartments operated by the State Department of Social Services Federal Housing Voucher Program through J. D'Amelia & Associates of Waterbury, Connecticut.

The Section 8 Wait List is currently closed. The Authority advertises wait list openings in local newspapers.

This information is also available by telephone at (203) 375-4483 extension 11
