About Mary Walker Towers
Mary Walker Towers is a HUD-assisted rental property in Chattanooga, Tennessee. According to HUD's Multifamily Properties (Assisted) dataset, the building has 153 total units, of which 153 receive federal rental assistance under Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance and Section 8 (RAD Conversion). 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 83% of current residents are 62 or older, which is consistent with a Section 202 supportive housing community.
A significant share of residents — about 61% — 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.
