PROVIDING LOW-INCOME AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Each program has its own eligibility requirements and application process, so it is important to do your research to find the program that is right for you.
  • 2. Get all of your documentation in order: When you apply for low income housing, you will need to provide documentation of your income, assets, and household composition. This documentation may include tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, and birth certificates.
  • 3. Be careful and accurate on all information provided: Any false or misleading information on your application will most likely result in your disqualification.
  • 4. Waiting Lists: The waiting lists for most, if not all low-income housing programs is long. Do not limit yourself to only apply to one apartment location.

    I applied for a rental here. I have assistance from the county hsp program. The receptionist responded that with hsp program that the subsidy isn't deducted from the total rent amount so that my income can meet the 2 and 1/2 times the rent requirements as they do for section 8. Fair housing laws state that the amount is supposed to be deducted and then the remainder is the rent amount the tenant needs to have enough income to qualify for. I'm confused about the nature of this agency as it suggests that it is assisting low income persons with obtaining housing.

    I am looking for apartment for my 71 year old father who is on social security. Me and my family would like for him to be closer. Right now he lives in the bay area. I am willing to be on this lease to help him get in. Me and my sister are going to help him with rent each month so the rent will not be a problem.

Apartment Checklist
Check For Waiting Lists
Most apartments have waiting lists. Search early and do not just settle on one apartment choice.

Contact Your Local Housing Authority
Housing authorities have many opportunities. Many do have closed waiting lists, but they may be able to provide other public housing resources.

Check The Federal Poverty Sliding Scale Guidelines
Check to see if you qualify for low cost or free housing by comparing the guidelines to your income records.
