The Springhill
apartments complex is under contract with the Casper Housing Authority to
provide housing assistance to low income families who are on our waiting
list and that qualify under Springhill Apartments rental acceptance
policies. If the Springhill Apartments management approves you, you would
be assigned an apartment in the complex.
There are additional scattered homes under contract with this agency in
the Mod Rehab program.
If an applicant is placed in one of the Mod Rehab units, they receive
subsidized housing assistance as long as they reside in the assigned unit.
SECTION 8
VOUCHER PROGRAM
This program allows the
applicant to rent a unit in the Casper area from a landlord who is willing
to accept a Section 8 contract.
Once the applicant has reached the top of the list for this program, they attend a meeting, which will allow the participant to select a unit of their choice that will comply with the program.
A "Lease Approval" form will be provided at the meeting for completion by the applicant and the prospective landlord. A due date will be given to the applicant for submission of the "Tenancy Approval" form to the Casper Housing Authority.
The unit must then be inspected by a representative from the Casper
Housing Authority to ensure the condition of the unit will pass the
Federal Requirements for Housing Quality Standards. If the unit passes, a
contract will be prepared for signing within a few days of the inspection.
If the unit
DOES NOT PASS THE INSPECTION
requirements, the landlord will be given a period of time to make the corrections to the unit so that it will pass an additional inspection. This would need to be done before a contract could be signed.
SINGLE ROOM OCCUPANCY
There are 16 efficiency units for persons who are single. Preference is given to homeless persons for occupancy.
