The White Plains Housing Authority provides housing assistance to low-income
residents through the management of Low Rent Public Housing. This
program is income based, and the eligibility guidelines are set by
HUD. There
may be waiting lists for
these rentals, and at times, the lists may close to new applicants based
on the size and length of wait. If you are in need of
housing assistance in the area, please contact
the Housing Authority
directly to obtain more information about eligibility requirements, rental availability, the status of any waiting lists and their
application procedures.
