The Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles is now accepting registrants for its senior only public housing sites located throughout the County. Registrants may add their name to the seven waiting lists now through December 31, 2014, 11:59 a.m. The Housing Authority’s family site waiting lists and Section 8 waiting list both remain closed.

orchardarms2 Interested seniors may choose, based on eligibility, to register for one or all of the waiting lists. Applicants will be selected from each waiting list in order of admission preferences, followed by date and time of registration. Available senior properties include: Carmelitos (Long Beach), Nueva Maravilla and Herbert Ave. (East Los Angeles), Francisquito Villa (La Puente), Whittier Manor (Whittier), West Knoll/Palm (West Hollywood), Marina Manor (Marina Del Rey), Orchard Arms (Valencia), Foothill Villa (La Crescenta), and South Bay Gardens (South Los Angeles). Interested persons may register at www.hacola.org, or call (626) 586-1845.

If an applicant is offered a unit from any of the waiting lists selected, and the unit is not accepted, the applicant’s name will be removed from all other selected senior site based waiting lists, and they must re-register. Therefore, it is important that applicants only register for locations in which they are willing to reside. Further, please note that the Housing Authority prohibits smoking on the grounds, and within the units, at all public housing developments, except for the South Bay Gardens senior housing development, which has a designated smoking area within the complex.

The Housing Authority maintains and manages 3,229 public and affordable units located on 68 sites located throughout Los Angeles County. For more information on the Housing Authority’s programs, please call (626) 262-4510. All media may contact Elisa Vásquez, Public Information Officer for the Housing Authority, at (626) 586-1762.

Is this the old
Folk version of section 8? Or welfare?

I would rather help low income seniors than to give our hard earned money to section 8 gangsters and dope dealers! Some of those seniors were also war veterans, and that to me is even a bigger reason!!
