Community Corner:

Next week, a wait list is opening for Project Based Voucher units at “The Overlook at Old Court”.



Please note: The waitlist is for disabled families only and only 2‑ and 3‑bedroom units are available (households of 2-6 people only). The apartments are in the Pikesville area. As “The Overlook at Old Court” is a Project Base Voucher Program, the PBV assistance remains with the unit, not the tenant. This is NOT a Housing Choice Voucher that can be taken to any landlord.



The wait list for this specific project based voucher program will be open from 5/18/2026 at 8:30am to 5/22/2026 at 4:30pm.



If you are not already registered, you will want to create an account now so that you are ready to apply once the wait list opens: Login - My Housing



While this community is located outside of District 7 and in Pikesville, after living in the subsidized unit for one year, a tenant may be able to request to “opt out” and receive a Housing Choice Voucher if they are being issued at that time.
