CHA opens 'scattered sites' waiting list

The Chattanooga Housing Authority will reopen its waiting list for its "scattered sites" homes on April 15.

The scattered sites include Glenwood Heights East on Judson Lane, Missionary Heights Apartments, Edward Steiner Apartments and Woodside Avenue Apartments.

"We had closed (the list) two years ago because of an ample supply of applicants," said Bryant Lowery, CHA's director of asset management.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development decided to give CHA an additional $200,000 a month toward its Housing Choice Voucher program, formerly known as Section 8.

With that money - federal dollars that can be used to pay rent - the authority was able to help some people move out of its scattered sites housing and into larger units.

Housing officials are opening the scattered sites list to make sure the occupancy at the sites doesn't decrease.

Applicants may apply for housing at Greenwood Terrace, located at 3056 Dee Drive, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday. For more information, call 423-752-4191.
