Income Based/Public
Long-term low-income housing (income near or below the poverty
level). Property is owned by the
city. Rent cost is subsidized by the
federal government. Rent is based on
income (monthly rent can be as low as $0.00 -- up to $600.00 or
more/month). Utilities are not included
in the rent. Tenant must pay 1st month’s rent and security deposit, plus get certain utilities (deposits) turned on in order to move in. These costs can be as high as $500 to $1000 or more. There are restrictions on who can live in the apartment and the activities allowed. If regulations are broken, you can be evicted and barred from living in other public housing properties. A small pet (under 25 pounds) is allowed with pet deposit ($300.00 +) and separate “Pet Lease” that includes spaded/neutered, vaccinations, and more. Background and credit checks are done, usually taking about a month. Waiting lists are usually short compared to other housing programs (i.e., several months to a year-not several years).
AFFORDABLE HOUSING: Long term housing for families or
individuals with low to moderate income (near poverty and above). That is
monthly income of more than $1000.00 and up for an individual to over $4000.00
per month for a large family (i.e., 6 or more). Rent is from about $500.00 per month to
$850.00 or more per month based on income bracket (minimum and maximum income),
number in the family, and size of the apartment. Rent does not include utilities. Individuals without children do not have to
be elderly or disabled to qualify. Some
complexes allow unrelated roommates to share expenses. Some complexes allow small doctor-ordered
companion pets with deposit and pet lease.
Credit and background checks are done.
LOW INCOME HOUSING: Long-term
low-income housing (income near or below the poverty level). Property is owned by a variety of
organizations such as churches, non-profit groups, and real estate
companies. The federal government
subsidizes rent costs. Rent is based on
income (monthly rent can be as low as $0.00--up to fair market value i.e.,
$600.00 or more/mo.). This usually does
not include utilities. Required deposits
may vary greatly from one complex to another.
Certain federal restrictions apply, but each complex can add their own
restrictions and requirements; must live in the apartment complex, background
and credit checks will be done. Waiting lists vary some are long (i.e., over a
year).
SECTION 8 HOUSING: Long-term low-income housing (income near or below the poverty level). Property is owned by individual landlords all over the county. Applications are taken for about month when the waiting list gets low at a Section 8 housing office. Your name is then put on the waiting list for a “voucher”. When your name comes to the top of the waiting list your application is reviewed and updated. If you are eligible, you are given a period of time (1 or 2 months) to find an apartment, mobile home, or house that meets all the Section 8 requirements, and the owner/landlord will rent to you on a Section 8 voucher. The landlord then gets two payments each month for the rent, your portion of the rent from you and the Section 8 portion from the Section 8 office. Your portion of the rent can go up and down based on your income. Usually, you can live anywhere in the county. Some families choose to continue to stay where they currently live if their landlord takes Section 8.
Waiting list
varies. Some complexes take Section 8
housing vouchers. Some complexes only
have a few subsidized units.
