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](https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/il.html). 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. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Preference is given to adults 62 and older, and people with disabilities.
