Neodesha Housing Authority

10/14/2026

🏡 1-BEDROOM APARTMENT AVAILABLE — NO WAITING LIST!
Neodesha Housing Authority currently has a 1-bedroom USDA Rural Development apartment available for qualifying low-income individuals and households!

📍 ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Applicants must meet the following requirements:
✅ Age 62 or older OR have a qualifying disability (regardless of age).
✅ Meet USDA Rural Development income eligibility guidelines.
✅ Pass a criminal background screening.
✅ Pass a credit and rental history screening, including verification of outstanding debts to utility companies, previous landlords, or housing providers.

💰 HOW MUCH IS RENT?
Rent is based on household income — there is no single rent amount for everyone!
Rent is calculated using the GROSS income of all household members, along with applicable deductions.
For example, if your Social Security benefit is $1,202 per month but you receive $1,000 after Medicare premiums are deducted, your gross income is $1,202. Qualifying Medicare premiums may then be considered as part of allowable medical expense deductions.
We cannot determine your individual rent amount without a completed application and verification of household income.

🐾 PET-FRIENDLY!
We allow one pet per household, subject to our Pet Policy:
• Maximum weight of 40 pounds
• Required pet deposit
• Current veterinary records and vaccination documentation
• Service animals are NOT pets

📋 APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
All applicants must complete an application and provide the required supporting documents, including:
• Proof of all household income (Social Security, SSI, employment, pensions, etc.)
• Social Security cards for all household members
• Birth certificates for all household members
• Photo identification for everyone age 18 or older
• Complete and accurate rental history and landlord contact information

⏳ IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCESSING
There is currently NO WAITING LIST, but this is NOT emergency housing.
Applications must be fully processed and approved before an apartment can be offered or occupied.
Processing may take more than 30 days.
Incomplete applications, missing documents, inaccurate rental references, or incorrect contact information can significantly delay processing.
Apartment offers are made according to the date applications are approved, not simply the date they are submitted. Delays in completing your application could result in another qualified applicant being approved first.

🏠 READY TO APPLY?
Contact the Neodesha Housing Authority to request an application or learn more about eligibility requirements.
Please remember: We cannot quote your exact rent over the phone without verifying your household income and applicable deductions.

Hey yall! Unfortunatly, NHA will be closed September 2-September 7, 2026.
Both office staff members will be attending our Kansas NAHRO conference in Oklahoma City.
On Monday, September 7, 2026 all staff will be off for Labor Day.
We have voiced our concerns about small housing authorities attending a vital conference to learn HUDs multitude of upcoming changes... during the highest rent paying time of the month.
Our 5 business day grace period for rent has been extended all the way to Friday, September 11 with NO late fee though! Our apologies for the inconvenience this month. Have a great week and a safe weekend!
