The Hinesville Housing Authority will reopen its housing applications for two- and three-bedroom units only on June 1. Individuals will be able to apply by appointment only if they are seeking housing.

On Nov. 8, 2021, housing officials made the decision to close the waiting list after an ongoing waiting period of two years extended to five years due to an increase in applications. “The list had grown from 1,500 applicants to 1,800 applicants so we closed the application period to review the list,” said Melanie C. Thompson, CEO of the Hinesville Housing Authority. “Individuals who no longer need housing, do not qualify for housing or failed to reply to notifications were removed.”

Thompson further explained that there are no available units, and the waiting period is still three to five years. However, the leasing agency, Hineshouse Property Management & Maintenance Services, is accepting applications for the two- and three-bedroom units because those become available more quickly than one- and four-bedroom apartments. “The likelihood of those units needing to be occupied is higher,” Thompson said. “We are also seeking opportunities to add more housing in the near future, so we want to have a list of applications ready to be housed.” Anyone wanting to be added to the waiting list for housing may view the Hineshouse Property Management & Maintenance Services application online at www.hinesvillehousingauthority. org.
