About Newberry Heights Apartments

Newberry Heights Apartments is a Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly property at 5819 Newberry Ave, Memphis 38115. It has 50 apartments, 49 of which are subsidized (49 one-bedroom). Most current residents are 62 or older.

Who can apply

This program serves households where the head or spouse is 62 or older who meet HUD income limits for the Tennessee area (generally at or below 50% of area median income; many buildings prioritize 30%).

How to apply

1. Call the building at 614-451-2151 (managed by National Church Residences) and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application.
2. Most buildings keep their own waiting list — this is separate from the Memphis Housing Authority (MHA) Section 8 voucher list.
3. Submit proof of income, ID for every household member, and Social Security numbers where available.
4. When your name comes up, the management office verifies eligibility and offers a unit.

Your rights

Tennessee has no statewide source-of-income protection and private landlord participation in the Housing Choice Voucher program is generally voluntary. The City of Memphis Fair Housing Ordinance has been described as covering source of income, but sources conflict on whether it requires landlords to accept vouchers — renters should verify current local protections with the City of Memphis or a legal aid provider before relying on them
