Housing Authority Unit Turnover
At a glance
- What: vacancies, make-ready work and the pace of unit turnovers across the Housing Authority's state and federal units.
- Where it stands (Oct 13, 2026): two vacant units at each of two family developments were being made ready, with candidates waiting; two tower apartments were also open, one in rough shape. Maintenance staff turned over 38 units in about six months (12 at the towers and 26 in family units), well above recent years (about 20 in the prior 12 months), and the board thanked them. Roughly 276 units in all.
- Explanation: transfers do not create net openings; only residents leaving the authority do. A board member guessed rising use of accessory dwelling units (seniors moving in with family) may be part of the increase.
- Next: continue monthly vacancy reports.
