Who is Eligible?
Public housing is limited to low-income elderly / disabled and family individuals. A Housing Authority (HA) determination of your eligibility will be based on the following:
1. Annual gross income
2. Whether you qualify as a person with a disability or as a family
3. US citizenship or eligible immigration status
If you are eligible, the HA will check your references to make sure you and your family will be good tenants. The HA will deny admission to an applicant whose habits and practices may be expected to have a detrimental effect on other tenants or on the project's environment.
How is Rent Determined?
Your rent which is referred to as the Total Tenant Payment (TTP) in this program would be based on your family's anticipated gross annual income less deductions if any.
Program participants normally pay no more than 30% of their monthly adjusted income toward rent and utilities.
HUD regulations allow HA's to exclude from your annual income the following allowances:
- $400 for any elderly family, or a person with a disability
- Certain medical deductions for families headed by an elderly parent or a person with disabilities
Based on your application the HA representative can determine if any of the allowable deductions should be subtracted from your income.
Annual income is the anticipated total income from all sources received from the head of household and spouse, and each additional member of the family 18 years of age or older.
