Affordable Housing FAQs

What is affordable housing?

Affordable housing refers to dwelling units, typically rental housing, that are financially within reach for individuals and families with low to moderate incomes. The concept of affordability is often quantified as housing costs that do not exceed 30% of a household’s income.

Who is eligible for affordable housing?

Eligibility for affordable housing varies based on factors such as income level, family size, and individual circumstances, often dictated by a combination of federal, state, and local regulations, as well as the specific policies of the housing provider or agency. Generally, it’s intended for individuals and families whose incomes are unable to meet market-rate housing costs in their area, typically those earning less than the median income for their region.
