Fill out a low income housing application online

The Section 8 and Subsidized Housing Online Packet helps families and individuals find and fill out a low income housing application via links to official PHA sites.

Public housing guarantees that low-income individuals and families have access to clean, safe, affordable housing. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funnels federal housing funds to state housing agencies for disbursement to local housing authorities. The housing authorities then allocate the funds based on local preferences and priorities. Most funds go to elderly and low-income housing. Applicants who qualify to live in low income housing projects can remain in them as long as they meet program guidelines.

The income HUD sets qualifying income limits for low-income (public) housing annually. The limits are based on family size and and a geographic area's area median income. Area median income is the mid-level income for a county; half of the county's remaining households earn more, and half earn less. Eighty percent of area median income is the maximum income to be considered low-income, thus qualifying for public housing. For example, in Santa Clara County, California, which has an area medium income of $103,500, a family of two is allowed to earn a maximum of $64,600, a family of three $72,650 and a family of four $80,700 to qualify for public housing.
