About HOWARD APTS
HOWARD APTS is a HUD-assisted rental property in New Haven, Connecticut. According to HUD's Multifamily Properties (Assisted) dataset, the building has 13 total units, of which 13 receive federal rental assistance under Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance and HFDA/8 SR. That means the resident's share of rent is generally limited to roughly 30% of adjusted household income, with HUD covering the remainder of the contract rent paid to the owner.
If you'd like to apply, contact the property's management office below. Project-based Section 8 waiting lists are managed by the property, not by your local public housing authority — you must apply to each building separately.

How to apply
Project-based Section 8 properties keep their own waiting lists. To apply to HOWARD APTS:

- Request an application packet. Most properties will mail or email it; some require you to pick it up in person.
