Yes, we encourage prospective applicants to schedule a tour so you can view the unit, the building and community amenities, and ensure the location is a good fit before submitting an application.

You can begin by visiting our website’s “Apply for Housing” section or contacting our leasing office directly. We’ll provide an application form, instructions for submitting documents, and answer any questions about the process.

Rent is determined based on factors such as household income, property operating costs, and affordability criteria set for that community. Each property has its own rent structure in line with affordable housing guidelines.

Our properties are located across several counties in Maine (within our designated service area). Specific locations are listed on our website under “Communities” or “Locations”.

Some of our properties accept HUD-based vouchers (such as a Housing Choice Voucher) or other subsidy programs. Voucher acceptance depends on the property; be sure to ask the leasing office if the specific property you’re interested in participates.
