How To Apply

In order to live in any of our communities you must first get on the waiting list by completing our housing application.

Applications can be returned to any of our offices in person, by email or electronic portal (if available to your locality). If the application is submitted via email or electronic portal, an e signature is considered valid.

Once the applicant reaches the top of the waiting list , the Housing Commission staff will set up a time to interview the applicant and explain the application, verification and screening process.

Rent Calculations

The rent is different for every resident. Each resident can choose either to pay a flat rental amount established for the individual bedroom size of the apartment, or 30% of their "Adjusted" income.

"Adjusted" income is the amount of annual income an individual has after deducting $400 for each individual over the age of 62, and medical/disabled expenses for qualified individuals.
