Eligibility
Income Eligibility
Your gross income is an essential factor in your qualification for residency in any of our communities. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sets the income limits. The established maximum annual income limits (per household) are:
- HUD (all except Starner Hill) one person $42,600, two persons $48,700
- HUD (Starner Hill) one person $29,850, two persons $34,100
- Tax Credit one person $51,120 two persons $58,440
*Tax Credit Properties also have a minimum annual income to qualify. Our Tax Credit Communities are Everall Gardens, Kessler Park, St. Mark’s Apartments and Village Crossroads I. Housing Choice Vouchers are also accepted.
In HUD properties, residents pay 30% of their adjusted gross income in rent. In tax credit properties, residents’ rent is based on the apartment type regardless of individual income.
