Who is Eligible?

Public housing is available to individuals and families with no or low income, along with the elderly and disabled individuals.

Proof of US Citizenship or legal immigration status is required.
You will be asked to submit for all household members:
Social Security ID card, Birth Certificate, and possibly a valid picture ID

If you are eligible, the HA will check your references to make sure you and your family will be good tenants. The HA will deny admission to an applicant whose habits and practices may be expected to have a detrimental effect on other tenants or on the project's environment.

What About Rent?

Low-income rents, which are referred to as the Total Tenant Payment (TTP) in this program would be based on your family's anticipated gross annual income, less deductions. Anticipated annual income includes all sources received by the family head of household, spouse, and each additional family member over the age of 18 not participating in general education.

Program participants normally pay no more than 30% of their monthly adjusted income toward rent and utilities.

Housing Urban Development (HUD) regulations allow housing authorities (HA's) to exclude from your annual income the following allowances:

  • An amount for each dependent
  • An amount for an elderly family, or a person with a disability
  • Certain medical deductions for families headed by an elderly parent or a person with disabilities

Based on your application the HA representative can determine if any of the allowable deductions should be subtracted from your income.
