What are the requirements that qualify applicants for public housing?
HUD establishes income limits and revises them annually to ensure that federal rental assistance is provided only to low-income families (80% of median income). The income limits are based on median income of the geographic area for which the limit is established, and are adjusted for family size.
What are some of the programs that assist lower-income families you accept?
- The Section 8 Voucher Program allows the recipient the ability to locate their own affordable housing across the city.
How much will my rent be?
The Total Tenant Payment (TTP) is calculated using the following formula: The greater of 30% of the monthly Adjusted Income or 10% of the monthly Annual Income, but never less than the Minimum Rent ($50.00).
If I don’t have any income, can I still apply for assistance?
Yes. Any applicant declaring a zero income must complete a zero income form.
