Public Housing

Concord Housing + Redevelopment provide for hundreds of New Hampshire’s families, our elderly residents and disabled citizens through its ownership and management of 262 public housing units within the cities of Concord and Penacook. Residents of these units pay 30% of their adjusted annual income toward rent. All utilities, except for cable, internet and telephone, are included in the rent amount. Federal funds, as administered through HUD, subsidize the operation of this program. The John F. Kennedy and Crutchfield Apartments are designated for elderly (over 62 years of age) and/or disabled households. The Boucher Apartments are designated for near-elderly (over 50 years of age) and/or disabled households. Ceriello and Haller Apartments are for all eligible families.

Pitman Place/Thompson Square

Concord Housing + Redevelopment manages these affordable, 1-bedroom units located in the Crutchfield and John F. Kennedy Buildings. Applicants must be disabled and meet income and other eligibility guidelines. Residents of these units pay 30% of their adjusted, monthly income toward rent. All utilities, except for cable, internet, and telephone, are included in the rent amount. After completing an application, CH+R makes an initial determination of eligibility based on income and family size. Date of application determines the order of applicants on our wait list. Eligible applicants will receive notification of their approximate wait time for their name to reach the top of our wait list.

To be added to the Public Housing wait list, applicants must be at or below these income guidelines based on their household size. Applicants also need to meet income limits upon intake.
