The amount of rent you pay in your Housing Authority-operated apartment will almost certainly be less than what you are paying currently. That's because we calculate your rent payment based on the amount of income in your household. In many cases we will ignore certain types of income and apply generous deductions to help reduce your monthly rent payment. The result? More money stays with your family to pay for the things you need. Below are just a few examples of rent calculations. To take advantage of this program, click here to apply today!
