Publicly Owned Subsidized Housing

415 Armstrong Blvd N, St. James, MN 56081

Eligibility
Public housing is for low-income households. Your eligibility is based on:
  • Annual gross income
  • Whether you qualify as elderly, a person with a disability or as a family
  • U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status
If you are eligible, the Housing Authority will check your references to make sure you and your family will be good tenants. A Housing Authority may deny admission to any applicant whose habits and practices may be expected to have a harmful effect on other tenants or on the project's environment. You must meet income guidelines. Income limits are set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Income guidelines can be found on the HUD website. Check with the property management for specific income limits. HUD sets the upper income limits at 80% of the median income for the county or metropolitan area in which you choose to live. Some housing is limited to people with very low income (50% of median income). Income limits vary from area to area so you may be eligible at one Housing Authority but not at another. The amount is adjusted each year and is based on family size.
Application process
Call for more information. Some properties maintain waiting lists. There may be a long wait, or the waiting list may be closed.
Fees
Rent is based on 30% of a family's gross household income.
