To qualify for affordable housing, you need to meet certain income and other eligibility criteria set by the housing authority or the government agency that provides affordable housing. These criteria can vary depending on where you live and the specific programs available in your area. Some factors that may be considered include your household income, family size, employment status, credit score, and rental history. You can usually apply for affordable housing through your local housing authority or the agency responsible for administering affordable housing programs in your area. They can provide you with more information on the specific eligibility requirements for each program and assist you with the application process.

Hi Darren, Housing Authority or HUD can help with the Section 8 / Housing Choice Voucher program. The program is federally funded. You will need to show your ID, income statement (including SSI or SSDI), veteran status (if applicable), Social Security Card, and fill out an application. Once you are accepted in the program you will receive a blue form that you need to offer landlords when you apply for housing. Housing Authority will need to inspect the property and there is a separate lease for Housing Authority to fill out with the landlord as well. You will owe rent based on 30-40% of your income (the fluctuation is based on utilities). If you have no income they may cover all costs. You will need to submit recertification and if your income changes you will need to report the change.
