Public Housing Eligibility
Public housing is limited to income qualified families/households, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities. In addition, our housing authority determines eligibility based on:
- Annual gross income
- Family background information - this includes current and prior landlords, personal references, and performance meeting financial obligations (especially rent)
- Criminal history (Persons who are 18 or older and have a criminal record may be denied admission or evicted from our public housing units.)
Income limits are set by HUD. (See tables below.) Persons wanting to live in our public housing must have a gross income at or below the "Low Income" limit for the appropriate family/household size and location desired.
