Scattered Sites
The Rockford Housing Authority owns 300 Scattered Site units throughout the City of Rockford. These residences are divided into 2 sections with a manager for each section. The Rock River is the dividing point – Scattered Sites East and Scattered Sites West.
- The units are single family or duplex residences blended into the surrounding community.
- Transfers from a development to a Scattered Site unit have specific requirements based upon “good tenancy”.
- Residents of Scattered Site units assume a higher responsibility for proper lawn maintenance, snow removal, and home care similar to home ownership.
- Persons interested in the Scattered Site Program should contact their current Site Manager or the receptionist at the RHA Central Office at (815)489-8732 during business hours.

Housing for Persons with Disabilities
For people with disabilities, including disabilities that result from aging, accessibility in a home is a key step in independent living. For some, access may be as simple as adding grab bars and a tub seat in the bathroom. For wheelchair users, access may require ramping entrances, widening doorways, lowering counters, adding lever or loop-style hardware to doors and drawers, and modifying storage areas. The RHA recognizes these needs and offers many comfortable and safe accommodations for people with disabilities.
