Provides transitional housing for people on the Section 8 waiting list.

Our mission: Dignity Housing breaks the cycle of homelessness and poverty that confronts low-income families and individuals in Philadelphia by providing safe, decent affordable housing, promoting self-sufficiency, and creating opportunities beyond expectations.

 

Transitional Housing
We provide safe, decent affordable housing as the first step for residents to becoming productive, healthy individuals and families.

Promoting Self-Sufficiency
Dignity Housing realizes that affordable housing alone will not move individuals and families out of poverty. For that reason, Dignity’s programs have a strong emphasis on resident self-sufficiency.

Creating Opportunities
Our program stresses that education and job skill development are necessary to advance beyond poverty.

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.

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.
