Subsidized housing refers to government-funded programs that help low-income households afford rent. Typically, eligible tenants pay based on their adjusted gross income on rent and utilities, with the government covering the remainder directly to the property owner or landlord.
There are also many privately owned affordable options not subsidized by the government.
The listings below are a resource for you to start looking for income-based housing options. This is not a complete or official listing, gathered from multiple resources, but a place to get a head start on what’s out there.
