Due to a high number of applicants and excessive wait time, effective Thursday, February 13, 2020, at 3:00 pm the Housing Authority of Paducah (HAP) will close its waiting lists and stop accepting applications for new residents for our 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom units until further notice. This closure will have no effect on applicants currently on the waiting lists or applications currently in process. Those who qualify for an efficiency, 3 bedroom, 4 bedroom, or 5 bedroom units, may still apply at our office, or on our website at www.paducahhousing.com. Also effective Thursday, February 13, 2020, at 3:00 pm our application days will change to Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm. HAP will no longer give information about an applicant’s position on the waiting list due to the variance in this position and the confusion it causes our applicants. This will allow more time to be spent processing applications and allow us to get applicants housed more efficiently.
HAP and the Board of Commissioners recently adopted a “Smoke Free” policy that went in to effect April 1, 2018 and will be fully implemented by June 1, 2018. This policy covers all of HAP properties and is meant to encourage a healthier living environment for residents, guests and employees and reduce maintenance costs in unit turn around.
