About Us
In the early 1960s, the site now occupied by the Buhl Housing Authority briefly served as the campus for Southern Idaho College before the institution relocated to Twin Falls just a few years later. Established in 1966, the Buhl Housing Authority developed the property into 40 one-bedroom apartments designed to provide housing for low-income elderly and disabled residents. Spanning a full city block, the property offers a quiet residential setting with mature trees and ample green space. Residents can enjoy a lovely community room space with a kitchen and a laundry facility is on site.

Eligibility
There are five eligibility requirements to public housing: qualifies for bedroom size applied for, has income within the income limits, meets citizenship/eligible immigrant criteria, provides documentation of Social Security numbers, and signs consent authorization documents. In addition to the eligibility criteria, families must also meet the Twin Falls Housing Authority screening criteria in order to be admitted to public housing.
If your application meets the initial eligibility criteria listed above, you will be placed on the wait list. As the application nears to top of the wait list, the Housing Authority will contact you to initiate the final eligibility process, which requires updating income and asset information, along with checking your references to make sure you and your family can reasonably be expected to uphold compliance with the public housing lease. Admission will be denied to any applicant whose habits and practices may be expected to have a detrimental effect on other tenants or on the apartment complex's environment.
Income Eligibility: The family’s annual income must be within 80% of the median income for the area to qualify as low income. Annual income is the total income from all sources received from each additional member of the family 18 years of age or older. Income includes Social Security benefits, wages, child support, self-employment income, income from investments, etc.
