Low-income and Public Housing units are managed by a Housing Authority. They come in a range of bedroom sizes. Most are located in apartment buildings, but some are located in smaller, multi-family buildings. Households in this program earn 80 percent of area median income or less to qualify and typically pay 30 percent of monthly income for rent and utilities. The program has site-specific waiting lists. Applicants can add their names to the Section 8 waiting list for one or two buildings of their choice.

Please note that the eligibility requirements and application procedures for completing a low-Income housing application or one for Public Housing are different than those of other programs. Eligibility Information on program income limits, how to qualify as a family, and how general suitability, rental history, criminal history, and immigration status affect eligibility.

A map and list of low-income or Public Housing properties, and information about the types of apartments offered, parking, nearby bus routes, and the surrounding neighborhood. Applying to this program has four steps: submitting a pre-application, joining the waiting list, submitting a full section 8 application, and having your application approved or denied. Online Pre-Application Seattle Housing Authority’s online low-income housing application allows you to apply for Section 8 and low-income programs with open waiting lists.

Low-income apartments cost less than similar apartments for rent. They require tenants to meet age and income guidelines. Income from assets (savings, annuities, investments, spousal support, etc.) is counted as income. Subsidized Apartments Renters pay 30 percent of their monthly income for rent and utilities. Require individuals to meet moderate- to low-income guidelines. Income from assets (savings, annuities, investments, spousal support, etc.) is counted as income. Contact individual apartments for current guidelines, openings & waiting lists. Note that prices and eligibility periodically change. Each state has somewhere between 4 to 10 housing authorities. Just because one is closed, others may be accepting applications for Section 8 or low-income housing. Each PHA has their own preferences when it comes to accepting applicants from out of town. Section8programs.com makes applicants aware that they can be on several different waiting list at once. Everyone knows how to apply for section 8, but few are able to locate PHA’s that are accepting applications. Section8programs.com is a private company that helps people to locate an affordable housing application online.

Housing authorities and PHA, (public housing agencies) are basically the same thing. One can only apply for Section 8 government rental assistance through such agencies according to their preferences. For example, some housing authorities only allow residents of that particular city to apply. Other housing authorities will accept applications from different cities or states. Your local PHA can allow you to complete a low income housing application form and help you calculate how much you need to budget for each month. Say, for example, your monthly income is $1,000. You would pay $300, even if the rent of the unit is $1,000. The maximum voucher issued by the PHA is $2,200 per month.
