About ELMHURST HOUSE
ELMHURST HOUSE is a HUD-assisted rental property in North Providence, Rhode Island. According to HUD's Multifamily Properties (Assisted) dataset, the building has 30 total units, of which 29 receive federal rental assistance under Section 202 / 811 Supportive Housing and PRAC (Project Rental Assistance Contract). 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.
This property primarily serves elderly residents (62+). About 53% of current residents are 62 or older, which is consistent with a Section 202 supportive housing community.
A significant share of residents — about 89% — are people with disabilities, suggesting this property is structured around accessibility and supportive services.
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.
