Is This the HUD Waiting List
No. When you apply here, you are not applying to a county HUD waiting list.
When you apply through our website, you are applying to the Housing Authority of Dry Ridge’s waiting list only. If you are interested in section 8 and/or other HUD programs, you must apply separately to those agencies. See our resources page for additional information.

Who is Eligible
Public housing is limited to low-income families and individuals. HADR determines your eligibility based on:
1) annual gross income;
2) whether you qualify as elderly, a person with a disability, or as a family; and
3) U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status.
If you are eligible, the HADR will check your background through a series of standard screening tests designed to protect the safety of our current residents and property. At minimum, we screen 1) criminal history in the past seven years; 2) credit as it relates to your rental history, including evictions; and 3) references from past landlords. Based on this screening, HADR will deny admission to any applicant whose habits and practices may be expected to have a detrimental effect on other residents or on the public housing environment.

Is There Emergency Housing
No. We do not have any emergency housing. There is a waiting list and the length of the waiting list varies depending on the number of vacancies we have each month and how many people are applying for housing. The waiting list also varies depending on which bedroom size you qualify for. On average, you can expect to wait 6 months to 2 Year.

Why has my position changed
Due to Housing Authority preferences, your waiting list position may change after you apply. Once you submit your pre-application for our waiting list, you will be notified via mail and email within fourteen (14) days with the next steps for verifying any eligible preferences.
We offer preferences for local (Grant County), veterans, and working/disabled.

Can I Choose My Bedroom Size
The PHA’s occupancy standards specify the minimum and maximum number of household members who will be permitted to occupy units of various sizes, depending on family size, composition, and extenuating circumstances, such as the ages, sexes, and disabilities of household members.
