Rental Units

The Mooresville Housing Authority, and our new non-profit, Mooresville Affordable Housing Alliance, currently operate 136 affordable housing units in Mooresville, NC.

These are our former public housing units that recently converted to Section 8 project-based units through the RAD Conversion process. There are a total of 106 units ranging from 0-BR to 4-BR. The units are located in three distinct neighborhoods:

• West End (S Sherrill St, Stevenson St, Charlotte St, Neel Ave)-60 units
• Circle Drive-16 units
• Duffy Drive-30 units

These units are subsidized through the Lexington Housing Authority’s Section 8 program. An applicant who moves into one of these units will pay 30% of their monthly adjusted income towards rent and utilities. Applications for these units are now being accepted by the Lexington Housing Authority, and you can apply for these units by going to Waitlistcheck | Lexington Housing Authority and filling out an application online. You will be placed on a waiting list. The following preferences apply for these units:

1. Elderly/Disabled
2. Veterans
3. Live or work in Mooresville NC
4. Date and Time of application

In order to qualify for these units, all adults in the household must pass a national criminal background check, limited credit check, and have satisfactory rental references. If you owe Duke Energy or Enbridge Gas, your residency will be denied until you have paid these balances in full.

This property is located at the 200 block of South Church Street and consists of 30 units of elderly/disabled housing. These are all 1-BR units and are designated for elderly (over 62) or disabled (any age). This waiting list is currently CLOSED due to the length of our list at this time. When we reopen this list, we will advertise here and in the local newspaper.

There are no preferences for this property and the waiting list is in order by date and time only.

Charlotte Street is our newest development of market rental units. There are two 3-BR units that will be available in early December 2026. If you are interested in applying for one of these units, you can read the information below to see if you qualify. Applicants who do not meet these requirements will be denied.
