Multi-Family Housing Program

The Watervliet Housing Authority consists of 5 Multi-Family housing complexes. Michael J. Day, Abram Hilton, and Edwin Joslin are family complexes. Daniel P. Quinn and Eugene Hanratta are senior and disabled housing complexes. In total, the WHA manages over 400 apartments: 191 one-bedrooms, 102 two-bedrooms, 93 three-bedrooms, and 14 four-bedrooms. 

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (or HUD) sets the income limits for Multi-Family housing in each county. In order to qualify for Public Housing, 30% of your gross annual income must be less than the gross rent for your appropriate bedroom size. Multi-Family Housing Authorities must abide by these limits. Multi-Family Housing, Section 8, and Van Rensselaer Village all have different income limits. You can view the Multi-Family housing limits on the HUD website.
