Apply for Public Housing
Bridgeton Housing Authority’s Public Housing waitlist is currently open for our Maple Gardens property which will be accepting applications from June 11, 2025 @ 9:00am to July 2, 2025 @ 5:00pm. To view the full notice, please click the link above entitled ‘2025 Waitlist Opening Legal Ad’. As a reminder, the waitlist is currently open for the Highrise building. However, the waitlist remains closed for all other BHA properties.
However, you can create an applicant profile on our RentCafe website even though the waitlist is closed. Please note that creating a profile does not register you on the waitlist for any property. However, once the waitlist re-opens, you can use your profile to apply.
