Public Housing Information
PUBLIC HOUSING
Public Housing was established to provide decent and safe rental housing for eligible low income families, the elderly, and person/s with disabilities. Public Housing comes in all sizes and types, from scattered single family houses to high rise apartments for elderly families. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers Federal aid to local housing agencies (HAs) that manage the housing for low income residents at rents they can afford. HUD provides technical and professional assistance in planning, developing and managing these developments.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Public Housing is limited to low-income families and individuals. An Housing Authority (HA) determines your eligibility based on: 1) annual gross income,2) whether you qualify as elderly, a person with a disability, or as a family, and 3) U.S. 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. HA will deny admission to any applicant whose habits and practices may be expected to have a detrimental effect on other tenants or on the developments environment.
