Wait Lists’ Status

Public Housing: CLOSED

RHE Public Housing Program

Rockville Housing Enterprises (RHE) owns and operates 105 Public Housing units in the City of Rockville. This housing is located at David Scull Courts, First Street in Rockville (76 units) and at various single-family sites throughout Rockville (29 units). The Public Housing Program is supported by assistance from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and from tenant rents.

Wait List

To be considered for public housing a household must be on RHE’s Public Housing Wait List. RHE does not accept new applications when the wait list is closed.

Please periodically check both this Web site and Rockville Reports, the City of Rockville’s monthly newspaper, to determine when the wait list will be open again for new applications.

Current Wait List Applicants

Applicants, to assure your status remains up to date on the wait list you are required to notify RHE of any changes in your information such as address, telephone number, employment status, and family size. RHE prefers to receive this information in writing.

RHE strives to keep the Wait List current by periodically contacting all wait list applicants by mail to enquire if their status has changed and as to their continued interest in the program. If there is no response by the due date of the notification, RHE will drop the applicant from the wait list.

Income Limits

When an applicant is on the wait list and his/her name comes to the top of the list, the applicant is invited to come to RHE for an interview and to provide RHE certain documents. At that time, RHE will determine whether an applicant meets the income limit requirements for Public Housing. (See the Income Limits Chart.)

Income Limits Chart Income Limits Chart

The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that 75% of RHE’s new admissions each year meet the extremely low income limits referenced on the Income Limits chart.

Tenant Rent

Tenant Rent is either a rent determined by formula (approximately 30% of household income) or is a flat rent set at market value. The resident household chooses whether to pay the formula rent or flat rent. RHE has established $50 as the minimum rent regardless of income.
