STARKEY HOUSING

1510 E Galena St, Wichita, KS 67216 · HUD Section 202 Sec. 202

316-942-4221 · call about availability & waiting list

How this works: this is a subsidized apartment community for low-income adults with disabilities (HUD records this property under the Section 811 disability program, not as elderly housing) — rent is generally capped near 30% of what you earn, with the federal program covering the rest. It is independent housing (not a care facility). Most have a waiting list, so apply early and to several. Who qualifies: generally 62+ with income at or below about 50% of your area’s median income, and many units target very-low-income (30%). The limit varies by county and household size — look up your county’s limit ↗, or ask the property. How to qualify & apply →

HUD’s record for this property

HUD physical inspection score: 92/100 (the median for this program is 95) · inspected 2026-05-28
HUD inspects the building itself — roofs, wiring, rails, smoke detectors, common areas. A high score means the property is in good physical repair. It is not a rating of the staff, the neighbours, or how long the waiting list is, and inspections are periodic rather than continuous.

Apartments: 18 (16 subsidised)
HUD records the residents served as: Wholly developmentally disabled
HUD program category: Subsidized - Previously 202/811
