Rental Units
The Rental Program provides low income families with good quality housing at an affordable cost. Participants pay no more than 22% of their adjusted monthly income for rent.

Ceiling rents are established as follows:

           1 Bedroom        $216
           2 Bedroom        $281
           3 Bedroom        $390
           4 Bedroom        $436

Normal maintenance and repairs are the responsibility of ASHA.

Required Monthly Payments
All monthly payments are due on or before the first day of the month. Five working days are allowed before late charges are assessed. Late charges in the amount of $15.00 will be added beginning the 6th working day of the month.

Allowances for Pets in Rental Units
All elderly and disabled residents will be permitted to keep one pet under the Pet Policy. All residents must submit an application  for approval along with a non-refundable deposit. These are updated annually. Compliance with all city codes and restrictions are necessary, as well as all Housing Authority rules and regulations.

Drug Free Housing
Drug abuse and use are subjects of immediate concern in our society. These problems are extremely complex and one for which there are no easy solutions. From a safety perspective, the users of drugs may impair the well being and peaceful enjoyment of their property for all residents, endanger the public at large and commit acts that result in damage to property. Therefore, it is the policy of the Absentee Shawnee Housing Authority (ASHA) that the unlawful manufacturing, distribution, dispensing, possession or use of a psychotoxin chemical solvent (inhalants), or controlled substance on or in any property belonging to the ASHA is prohibited. This applies to all programs of the Absentee Shawnee Housing Authority.

Any resident who possesses, uses, gives or in any way transfers a controlled substance to another person or sells or manufactures a controlled substance while on or off ASHA property will be subject to the provisions of this policy as well as other applicable provisions of Federal or Tribal Law.

The Absentee Shawnee Housing Authority works closely with local law enforcement as well as the Pottawatomie County Drug Task force to eliminate this element in the Housing Programs.
