Once an application is completed and received in our office, it will be uploaded to our database. All future contact will be done by mail. It is imperative that your information be kept up to date at all times. Any changes must be reported in writing or in person at our office. No changes will be taken over the telephone. Families that fail to respond to any updated requests sent by the EPHA may be removed from the waiting list and asked to re-apply.

Before receiving assistance, all applicants must be processed to establish their eligibility. When your name reaches the top of the list, you will be sent a letter by a Housing Manager to confirm your interest in housing. You must respond to this letter within five business days. After confirmation is received, a packet will be mailed to you containing all the documents that you will be required to provide to the Housing Manager. Documents may be mailed or dropped off in the locked metal box in our Lobby. These documents include, but are not limited to, criminal background screening of all adults, verification of income and verification of any preference that was claimed on initial application.

Once all screening has been performed, you will be notified of your eligibility status. If you qualify, your file will be placed in queue until a unit becomes available. Once you are notified of a units’ availability, you must express your interest to lease the unit within 5 business days. If the unit is refused, you are returned to the waiting list for a period of six months. Once 3 offers are made and refused, you are then removed from the waiting list and will have to re-apply.

Pre-applications are currently being accepted and are available by visiting our administrative office at 99 Goldsmith Avenue, East Providence, RI or by calling 401-434-7645. As a convenience, the application package is also available by clicking on the link below. It may be mailed or dropped off during normal business hours. Any questions you may have with regard to the waiting list or applying for public housing, can be answered by contacting our front desk at 401-865-6420.
