The Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority is asking federal officials for approval to dispose of two complexes with a total of 142 units.

Thornwood Commons, an 86-unit complex of townhouses and garden-style flats on the North Side near Interstate 71 and East 5th Avenue, and Kenmore Square, a 56-unit complex of townhomes between Cleveland and Joyce avenues, are proposed to go.

The authority is negotiating with affordable housing developers and operators to acquire the units, said Tom Williamson, the housing authority’s chief financial officer.
