Returned Mail for Applicants

Attention all waiting list applicants:

SHA communicates with applicants via US Postal Service mail. Remember to keep your address updated with Salem Housing Authority once you have submitted a waiting list application. It is your responsibility to notify SHA promptly of all address changes to keep your application active.

Effective October 1, 2021, when undeliverable mail is returned by the US Postal Service, the applicant’s name will be removed from all waiting lists with a status of “Active” at the time the mail is returned. This applies to all mail returned with an official USPS sticker citing the reason it is returned.

If an item is returned with a USPS sticker that includes a forwarding or new address, the applicant’s address will be updated in the database, and the item will be sent to the new address with an updated due date.

Thank you for keeping your address updated while you are on SHA waiting lists.
